ac> Not a lot of action here lately.   What is the 
 ac> situation on the Linux version of Maximus these days?

I'm shocked you're not a developer with all your C skills :)

 ac> Is anyone actively working on it?
                                           
Nope.

Last I heard they cured some curses & cursor probs and got MEX to work
and that was it. Everybody kind of dropped the ball after that since 2003.

 ac> Is the latest source on SourceForge's CVS?

Sure is. 

 ac> Will it build?

Apparently. 

Bob Jones was planning to clean up (or create) the Linux installer when time permits.

 ac> Is anyone using it?

Not me. 

I think there're a couple of people.

Bob Jones (Top Hat 2 BBS) runs a test node. 

But beyond the novelty it'd be a pretty boring setup. A basic Max &
Squish system more suitable as a mail hub.
