Downloaded the windows version and was able to run it on Win11 x64. 2 major problems I ran into were:
1) The tab key doesn't work (no way to move from entry to entry other than via mouse) while entering data in the phone book.

2) When logging out of my bbs, the bbs screen wouldn't clear. Because the
logout screen mostly blocked the program screen, I could tell something was scrolling on the program screen but couldn't read it.  As soon as I closed the bbs screen, the program screen closed out as well.

It did run somewhat faster than Netrunner, my default client. I will give it a few updates before I try it again. But I will try it again!
