Hi Accession,

 On Thursday December 18 2025, Accession said to Vorlon:

I had a look through my drives to see if I'd saved the download, but it
looks like I didn't... If the default web console is now working better for
you, that's a win. #-)

I do that sometimes as well. There used to be more vm's on the server, but a
couple got the tasks they do moved to existing one.

Mystic has some nice features, but some things could be improved. As you say
the auther going mia for long streteches is why I no longer run it as my
bbs. Zeus has some features that I use and like. (Yes there are bugs in
Zeus, but they can be worked around. The bugs in the Arexx scripts have
also been fixed [They are standard text files]).

The main reason I run VM's is to reduce the footprint of boxes (There is
only the server and bbs machine on 24/7. Even my router is a VM.), the electric bill, and keeping everything in one place!.
