Glad we fixed the user database issue.

As to telnet, Max does not directly support it.  If you have approprate
drivers (like VMODEM as part of the SIO package under OS/2, and I
understand there is one or two available for Win32 boxes), then you can
have telnet ports that connect to your Maximus system (or other BBS
software that uses the same hooks)....

Ok.

Please note that the CVS source is currently setup of a Linux compile and
not a Win compile.  Source for the existing Win, OS/2 & DOS code was
released by Scott, and is the basis for the Linux code that is running, but
I don't think we ever got to the point of getting the code to compile on
the original systems once we got the GCC based Linux compile running..... 
Ideally, we will get an Open Watcom compile running, but I don't have time
to support that right now, along with having contract issues to deal with
before returning to working on the public Maximus code.

Take care.....
