Yes but that is only true on Windows or OS/2 boxes and not in Linux.  There
are much better ways of achieving the same end in Linux and have been for
some time now.  The "Waiting for caller" screen adds nothing and
in fact causes more problems then it solves in Linux.  When you bring
DOS-think to Linux you end up with serious problems.  Anyhow there are all
sorts of "windows" in Linux where you can monitor traffic. 
Extremely boring stuff methinks but some people seem to enjoy that sort of
thing.  And there is always "chat" if you feel the need to
"help" users online.  The problem of course is whether their
client software is up to speed which it often isn't, especially Windows
terminal packages.  There is the real problem and I don't see how a Maximus
port to Linux is going to make that happen.  However you're not using Linux
so you're happy right?

Life is good,
Maurice
