I have 3 pc of linux systems running and my win2k NT is my main fido system
so perhaps it can be done by a linux compile for maximus setup for just a
telnet and POTS system on my Gentoo fido pc.
I have too tried to getting both Binkd and BTXe to run for a POTS and
internet mailer there could do a frontend mailer for maximus, both it
having som trouble by this.
