I thoroughly agree with your last sentence.  As to the rest, I tend to
like native BW a little better than QWK, but QWK is far better than not
having any packets... and BW does fine with QWK, as far as that goes.

It is, and apparently had a Y2K fix before Richard came out with his
fixes (Juxta has a mostly working BW door).  I know that someone was
trying to use Richard's fix on a Maximus BW door, but last I heard, he
hadn't managed it... it was the latest Maximus BW door, though, and that
might have been part of the problem, as that one I understand is
different from the ones that the fix works on...
