   I have a good friend who does this!  He's Danish and a former Fido sysop named   
   Kaare Olsen (name has been "Englished").  Let me talk to him; he has an   
   account on my BBS as he also ran Maximus/2 in the day and see if he could post   
   in here to help you out.   
      
   As for being off-topic, I know the moderator and don't think he minds.
