I have it running on my OS/2 box for now...been using it since 1998.  IRex's
BinkP 1.1 is very buggy and it is a security risk to run it. Rex's FTP, POP3,
and SMTP servers are buggy too.

Charles had come up with a litany of excuses why he hasn't fixed it and it
boils down to the minute he graduated college and made money, he wrote off the
BBS world completely, much like how Tim Strike has lied about the Telegard BBS
source code for decades.

MBSE BBS has a special switch to toggle when you are connecting to a IRex user;
it forces the connection to drop to BinkP 1.0.
