Do you know if it affects Maximus/2 2.x?

Migrating the DOS BBS node setup to Telnet using OS2/SIO/Vmodem was a quick
fix to address CJ losing his modem compatibility with the digital phone
service switchover.  Ultimately, when I get the time for proper
testing/tweaking, I'd obviously rather be using the OS2 versions of
Binkley/Max...assuming the DOS doors can still be integrated where
necessary.

I will be sticking with 2.x and not using 3.x, though, for reasons of
utility compatibility and personal preference.  If the bug applies, then I
may need your workaround or to simply hide the internal offline menu
options.  With Bluewave and Silver Xpress doors plugged in, I haven't had
anyone regularly use the Maximus options.
