Well... after the next release of Synchronet (soon) a patch set that already
exists is going to be applied to the source tree in CVS to allow it to run on
OS/X... if the OpenDoors package isn't already buildable/working on OS/X I
could quickly add that in...

As far as that goes, every terminal program for MacOS that I've seen recently
handles high ascii well... I could most likely even hack together an ANSI
editor for OS/X if one doesn't exist already (I've got one I ported to
FreeBSD... the changes to OS/X would be mostly trivial)

I personally would love to see *BSD, Solaris, and Linux versions so I could add
them to my BBS... and am more than willing to help in any way I can... my next
new computer is planned to be a Mac.  My primary OS is currently FreeBSD and I
love what OS/X has done with the place.  :-)

Come on... you know you wanna...  *tempt* *tempt*
