   I did build Maximus under linux shortly after the souece was released, I   
   think I did that around 2005. It did build at the time but it wasn't a   
   simple process and I'm not sure it will build easily today.   
      
   Maximus is a dial-up BBS package, there is no telnet or any internet servers   
   built into it. I was able to run Max following the instructions that came with   
   the source using inetd answering with telnet.. one node at a time. I never   
   worked out how to get it to answer a second time or get more than one node   
   going at a time but I think that is doable with a little (or a lot of) work.   
      
   Squish built fine. There was some visual glitch and I don't remember what it   
   was but it seemed to work as I remember it working under DOS and OS/2.            
      
   It was not possible to use mex under linux. I forget if mex scripts wouldn't   
   compile or if they wouldn't run but mex was not working when I tried it. It's   
   possible that could be fixed if someone with the skills worked on the code but   
   I don't know if that has or will happen.
