Thanks.  You know back in the 90's when everyone was telling me I should be
using Telegard, PC Board, or whatever.. I never switched.  I was the only
Maximus BBS in our county for a long time and spread the word.  A few
people tried it but it was too hard for them.  In 2003 when I broguht my
bbs back to life I insisted on keeping it Maximus, or not opening it again.
 I gave the new Linux maximus a try but it wasn't usable so I waited it
out.... for 4 YEARS.  Read the MUFFIN archives, you'll see my posts have
always asked about supporting DOS doors.  How much longer am I supposed to
wait to get Maximus running in Linux with DOS doors?  As you have seen I
have explorered alternatives such as running the entire Maximus system
inside of dosbox or dosemu.  I don't want to switch, but I'm not waiting
another 4 years.  I think you even told me not to use the linux version
recently because it's not quite ready.   I've been using Maximus since
1993, I think that's pretty dam die hard.
