   Did so a long time back but moved from Maximus to mbse which has its own file   
   and mail processors so stopped using it.   
      
   Running in a dosbox does reduce performance a lot also you are restricted to   
   filenames of 8.3 which can be a problem these days and as mbse handles both    
   8.3   
   and unlimited file names (within local Linux restrictions / limits) the   
   problems do not surface.   
      
   So it does depend on what BBS / mailer s/w you are going to run.
