 ML> As of v3.14, there're a couple of things I don't like about Synchronet. 

 ML> Mainly its message reading functionality. Thus far this is my critique, 

Yes I agree, I don't particularly like it either.  




 ML> Oh well. Maybe one day :)

Thanks.  You know back in the 90's when everyone was telling me I should be 
using Telegard, PC Board, or whatever.. I never switched.  I was the only 
Maximus BBS in our county for a long time and spread the word.  A few people 
tried it but it was too hard for them.  In 2003 when I broguht my bbs back to 
life I insisted on keeping it Maximus, or not opening it again.  I gave the new 
Linux maximus a try but it wasn't usable so I waited it out.... for 4 YEARS.  
Read the MUFFIN archives, you'll see my posts have always asked about 
supporting DOS doors.  How much longer am I supposed to wait to get Maximus 
running in Linux with DOS doors?  As you have seen I have explorered 
alternatives such as running the entire Maximus system inside of dosbox or 
dosemu.  I don't want to switch, but I'm not waiting another 4 years.  I think 
you even told me not to use the linux version recently because it's not quite 
ready.   I've been using Maximus since 1993, I think that's pretty dam die 
hard.
