No just a regular AMD 1.7 Ghz CPU.  I did figure it out though.  I had to
manually recompile the headmsg.mex files.  Then chown and chgrp all the files in
the /opt/max/m directory to the 'bbs' linux user and group.  Then it seemed to
work.

I tried looking at the bottom of the QUICKSTART file.  But it didn't provide
any insight.  I did however try executing the command ./max -n1 -pt2323 -w.  It
brought up the waiting for caller window.  I tried telnetting into it on the same
box max was setup on.  But it wouldn't connect.
