Has anyone out there managed to get TWGS to work on linux? with WINE maybe? I've tried, but no dice.

I've heard of a few people do it with Win4Lin.

It installs OK but when you run it, most of the buttons don't work and eventually it crashes. Maybe I'll mess with it more later. It sure would be nice.

several people run twgs on linux boxes. I think all are behind fusion bbs though. ask Col. Sanders or Kitty Moon I know they both use linux

I am a figment of your imagination. I am MIB.

Fusion BBS is a native Linux BBS app that I own/develop. It could run on other Unices if I put a little more time into it. However, my TWGS does not run on Linux. My twgs runs on a dedicated NT 4 server box, that does nothing but TWGS. The pioneer in TWGS on Linux that I know, is Nazwes Chaiwind of twgs.org. He had TWGS running on Linux for a few days, think he was running virtual pc? Check with him for details...

P.S. If you are interested in the Fusion experience, telnet://bbs.bawk.org to see an example of a Fusion BBS. Contact me if you want to run it.

Man, I was scrounging around on the internet for a copy of Fusion BBS about 6 months ago and couldn't find one. I found the website http://www.buede.com/fusion/ but you didn't post a download link for it and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I ended up using Mystic for Linux. It looks nice, but lacks some user management utilities I need. It looks like the author of Mystic has pretty much bailed on supporting and developing it. Do you have any plans for Fusion?

Fusion is a little barren, I do have some grand plans for it, I have a new box coming in the mail any day now, which will be an all Linux workstation at home, plan to do some coding on it and start really getting it...
