I have been a Blue Wave user since the mid 90's, and still use it
today.

There are two ways of fixing the Y2K problem with the QWK reader and REP
packets. A link containing both methods, and a lot of other BW related
programs is: http://www.wpusa.dynip.com/files/BLUEWAVE/

My recommendation for anyone who wants to use BW is the first fix on
that page.

I don't know if BW can run under Linux, but there is an OS/2 version.
Since my current computer is a 64 bit computer, I cannot run it in
native form -- but choose to run it in a virtual window with Win XP.

I have heard good words about Multimail.
