oh, i'm not surprised about the linux version being buggy.
my hosts ran the ftp server and i think things were decent.
The email support i wouldn't even use.

Sometimes i dont believe complaints about things, with my experience with
PIBKAC infected sysops over the decades.
i think people should examine the archives to see whats happening to them.

irex was a great workhorse for me, though.
