Stay with the 1.xx version.  I had problems with the 2.x version which was
created with a different compiler.  The 2.x versions were also drop'd if I
understood a previous message right..
The doc's should have a site to get the latest & greatest version..  :}
You might want to add ADEPTSOFT, and ADEPT_SYSOP echo's..  Not much trafic

assistant: Pat Beaven wrote in a message to All:
We tried this sort of thing to set up a Quake server,
although we were able to get a ppp connection after
we got the "patched" maxcomm.dll ( it allows ppp to
share the com port), we never actually got a dial in
to be able to play Quake. We were able to have
a vmodem port up and log on to maximus via a vmodem
connection, which was interesting and does add
more possiblilities to using Maximus.
We really didn't do anything special, we were able to
use both the extern mail from Binkley as well as
a menu option from Maximus to start the ppp conection.
As I wrote earlier, the key seems to be in the
patched maxcomm.dll that will allow ppp.exe to share
the com port. I think the one we are using is
MAXCOMM.DLL 6821 1-11-92, if all else fails
you can try FREQ from us, but you are better off
getting it via ftp or web site.
If you get the urge to try a Quake server and get that
working, let us know :) Quakefs ( Quake for OS/2 )
seems to work ok as a server and allows us to play
across or little 3 system peer to peer, so it does
seem likely that it could be set up that dial-ins
through Maximus could also join in a game.
Of course, the players on the local
lan have a big advantage, but that is the way it is
on the internet also, some have really low ping times
others don't.

only 8 megs of memory. Later I changed to Warp Connect and had to upgrade the

Oh I'm talking too much...
In short: If you have a LAN software for OS/2 2.1 there is no reason not to

Does anyone know of a means to lower the priority of Squish 1.11 (OS/2 ver)
while it is running as a background task? It really loads down the system
while tossing large packets. I run Binkley 2.60 for OS/2, Maximus 3.01 for
OS/1, Allfix for OS/2, Squish 1.11 for OS/2 and would like to make the
filebse builder under Maximus and the Squish tossing a little less cpu
draining if at all possible. If I have two users online and mail/files are
being handled in the background, then the users see a severe drag, and it
gets really bad when they run a couple of the worse DOS doors. Any tips
appreciated. I have messed around with these problems for 2 years now and
with OS/2 for a bit longer, but I learn something new everytime I ask one of
these questions <g>.

I'd tested Watergate on another BBS, using JAM messagebases with
RemoteAccess, and it seemed to work OK. But RemoteAccess is no longer being
developed, and so it seemed that the bugs in it would stay, so I thought I
would try Maximus for OS/2.
But Watergate seems to barf on Squish message bases, apparently because they
have bugs in them.
Does anyone know of any OS/2 BBS program that works with JAM message bases?
