    The Fido capable ones would be MBSE, Synchronet and Mystic.

    Maximus has been ported to Linux as well.


    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

    Yes, but it does not work as well as it should, it needs a little fixing, and is not a straitght forward compile ... , unlike the other packages I mentioned, Squish works perfectly tho ... , not saying it is unusable ... , just not quiet up to the last released version on Win32 / OS/2 / DOS ... , if someone likes tinkering, and they know C .... they are welcome ...
