• Looking for Maximus users

    Back in 1993 I started my first BBS running Maximus 2.01 and BinkleyTerm and it
    ran until 1996 when I had to take it down. I recently tried to get Maximus up and running again. I found the DOS and OS/2 3.0 versions, but I couldn't find
    way to run them on a modern PC with telnet access. Sure I can run Maximus single node in DosBox and it runs just fine, but running multinode was out of the question, plus I wanted to get back on Fidonet too, and for that I would have needed BinkleyTerm. Well, to make a long story short, I ended up installing Synchronet with binkd under Windows 7. Now I am here.

    So, where am I going with this? I am hoping to find some folks out there who would like to see Maximus running on modern computers with telnet access, perhaps even with an updated version of BinkleyTerm and Squish.

    So, if you're out there, let's do this thing.

    Look for a program by PC Micro called NetSerial

    I've had best luck with version 3.61 build 307

    Works like a champ.
