That I'm not sure of.

It was a couple years ago when I built it last.

Yes, Max builds fine and works well. It needs a tweak or two I think but by
& large it works as expected. SqaFix works just like always, and Squish too,
some minor bugs in the output (number of msgs purged and the like) but works
as advertised. Squish could use some work with large messages though. If
squish can't toss a large message .pkt's get renamed to .lng.

I could only get max to answer one telnet call though then I had to fire it
up again to get ready for the next call. Maybe some bash magic could get it
going but it's beyond my skills..

 ac> Is anyone using it?

There was a board in the eastern US that was using it for dial-up and telnet,
I logged on there a few times. I'll have to see if I can find the telnet
address.
