Right now, the latest version of Mystic that runs on the Pi is A36.  And even
with that version, MIS does not work.  So for me to make it work, I have to
use ddtelnetd to answer the telnet connections.  It's just a playground
setting for me, so I don't do any other message networking with it, so I
don't need binkp or qwk, so not having the latest version on the pi doesn't
affect me all that much.

On a side-note, I did get DayDream BBS to compile and run on the Pi tho.


 PH> The quad-core CPU will make a difference to you I'm sure.

I hope so.  I calcualted the costs for it.  The ODROID, case, hdmi cable,
power cable and Linux eMMC chip will cost roughly $121.  I'm considering
getting the Android eMMC chip too, so that I can try out a full-on android OS
on a desktop PC.  I've been checking out the videos of the ODROID-U3 in
action and it appears that it is pretty powerful.  It can browse websites and
play videos and run multiple windows with the same gusto as many windows PCs.
