Well I have 815 msgs here in Muffin, just recently upped the number of days 
from 30 to 300 and the number of msgs from 500 to 1500, so I might just have 
that, will look.

Hmmm ... alright,

About the same here, still need to configure Squish, and TimEd, and compile a 
few other things like BT XE and FaslLst.

Have managed to make a little progress towards getting some DOS doors to work 
with MBSE BBS, am hoping that the "lessons learned there might be 
transferable to Maximus. :-)
