Maximus and Squish will continue to support *.MSG areas (in fact, I have
more confidence in them than Squish bases right now ;).
 
I am currently working on a dialup modem communications driver; it will
probably be ready in the next week or two -- no guarantees. Perhaps you
would like to be my test monkey? :)
 
The biggest piece of Maximus which is not working correctly under Linux at
this point in time is MEX. IIRC, this was not offered at all in Maximus 2,
and certainly not under Opus -- so you shouldn't notice any functionality
missing.
 
BTW, have you seen WWW IIIs homepage on the web? He's certainly not the
geek I always imagined he was. :) 
 
If you're used to Opus, you should find yourself right at home under
Maximus. I never used 1.73, but I did co-sysop a 1.03b board back in the
day...
 
Also, I know how you feel about the internet.. It's a pity my living
depends on it... I am certainly looking forward to getting back into fido
after missing out for a decade.
