Argus, Radius and Taurus are all derived frm the same Delphi source code...
Delphi is pascal for the most part...

modem support has little to do with cross platform capability...

they're common enough... with the proper tool, pretty transparent, too...

freepascal is only a download away as is the lazarus RAD
editor/environment... lazarus can even convert some delphi projects to
FP/Laz projects... the first job of porting is to get FP/Laz to compile
it... then one can work on porting to *nix...

i started porting one of the above three mailers several years ago but RL
got in the way... i started off by manually translating the russian
comments to english first, one line at the time... i also have, somewhere
around here, partially translated taurus help files using the same
technique... at that time, babblefish was the translator to use...
