Hello !

I'm restoring my PSTN BBS after 20 years of downtime :) What is the latest version of Blue Wave mail door for Maximus/2 3.01 (OS/2)? Where can I download it?

Bye, Dmitriy!

Google for it. There's probably a copy out there somewhere.

But George is, sadly, long dead, so the latest version is going to be over 20 years old and there's no way to register it. (Not sure if the door needs to be registered.)

Version 3.11 is the latest I've found, you can get it here: http://cd.textfiles.com/cream11/cream11-02/bbs/bw311mx2.zip

This works on the Telegard version of the mail door, it may also work on the Maximus version:

Using Google, I realized that I need version 3.19 or 3.20, the file name is most likely BWMX319B.ZIP but I can't find it anywhere.

But today I saw a working Blue Wave mail door on ne of the BBS at 2:5020 (see pyramid bbs at nodelist). I will try to contact the SysOp of this BBS and find out how it works for him.

I have bw311max.zip and bw311mx2.zip here dated 1995, and bw320max.zip dated 1996.

They are available here on the BBS or ftp site.

Yes!!! On your BBS I found everything I need! I have already installed it
and starting testing. The bw320max.zip archive has a version for DOS and
OS/2 for Maximus BBS v3.0 and later, the bw311max.zip and bw311mx2.zip archives are suitable for Maximus BBS v2.0.
The archives bw_y2k.zip and bw_y2k2.zip contain Y2K fixes.

This is great! Thank you for saving these archives to this day!

Good stuff. I hope they will do what you need them to do.

I did run Maximus back around the release of v3.01 under OS/2 so I keep those files around in case I ever want to go back and have a look.
