Hi,

I've been keeping an eye on this echo since 2003.  Back then I was reviving
my old Max board and thought I'd set it up using the Linux version.  It
didn't take long to find out things weren't stable and I went back to the
DOS version.  Three years have passed and I'm curious how things are now?

- Do file upload/downloads work?
- Is MEX stable?
- Has anyone successfully run DOS doors using dosemu? Are there any
tutorials on that somewhere? I'm curious what the dropfiles will look like.

- Is ANSI working correctly?  Back when I tried it, I think there were
problems with color and characters?


Basically if it's pretty usable now, I might give it another try.  I run 2
nodes on Windows XP.  When two people are one at the same time it gets a
bit sluggish.  I'm hoping things will be a bit smoother on linux.  However
if I can't get it working as good as I have it running on Windows then I'll
probably wait a bit longer.


Thanks,
Ryan
