you are correct... to a point...

no clue but the maximus sources were released some time back... i don't 
remember if the squish sources were in there as well... there was work being 
done to allow maximus to run natively on linux... if squish was included (it 
has been 10+ years) then it should have also been included in that process...

the question is what BBS software are you running?

you should also be able to run a DOS tosser in a virtual DOS box of some kind 
and let it manage the message areas that way... should...
