As I talked to one of the developers of Maximus 3.0x for Linux
we were discussing a dialup lib for alpha/beta testing. I have not
heard anything more about how its going. I now do the maximus update
via CVS and I have not seen any type of serial port librairy in the
cvs yet.
	My question is. how long before this Lib will be in the CVS
repository for others to try out? I really need that support.
	Also how does the Maximus via CVS deal with Linux and its long
file name support? I haven't tried to upload files yet as I cannot
seem to get the telnet mode to work, just the local keyboard mode. I
have tried it via the stock runbbs.sh and its instructions and I get
nasty grams. especially with the -w (wait for caller) switch. heres
the stock script that I got. 
# {at}date         May 25 2003
# {at}description  A helpful script for running Maximus under
#               UNIX. Ideal for init:respawn monitoring.

PREFIX=/var/max

MAXIMUS="${PREFIX}/etc/max.prm"
PATH="${PATH}:/${PREFIX}/bin"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PREFIX}/lib:/usr/local/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

minDynNode=3

export PREFIX PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH minDynNode

rm "${PREFIX}/die.now"
cd ${PREFIX}

while /bin/true
do
  [ -f "${PREFIX}/die.now" ] && break
  bin/max -w -b38400 -n0 -p2323
  sleep 1
done

I understand some of the issues with the line:
  bin/max -w -b38400 -n0 -p2323
1. Baudrate will be 38400
2 maximus will wait for call -w
3 node zero? Umm maybe this is why the crash and burn
4 Port? 2323?

	Reguardless, I did offer to test the serial port support.
when/where will I find this?
