    AI>  1. I don't know if Argus was designed to be cross platform (modems).   
      
   Argus, Radius and Taurus are all derived frm the same Delphi source code...   
   Delphi is pascal for the most part...   
      
   modem support has little to do with cross platform capability...   
      
    AI>  2. On linux, the source would need GTK or QT to create the GUI.   
      
   they're common enough... with the proper tool, pretty transparent, too...   
      
    AI>  3. I don't have a pascal compiler available to me (it could be done   
    AI> though).   
      
   freepascal is only a download away as is the lazarus RAD editor/environment...   
   lazarus can even convert some delphi projects to FP/Laz projects... the first   
   job of porting is to get FP/Laz to compile it... then one can work on porting   
   to *nix...

   i started porting one of the above three mailers several years ago but RL got   
   in the way... i started off by manually translating the russian comments to   
   english first, one line at the time... i also have, somewhere around here,   
   partially translated taurus help files using the same technique... at that   
   time, babblefish was the translator to use...
