Ha, yes! I was contemplating moving over to exactly that very nice
setup, in order to finally get rid of MS-DOS / DesqView and 8.3
filenames, when I decided to go all-Linux instead.
When I shut the thing down, it was running BinkleyTerm with Gwinn's
FOSSIL driver, FidoGate for UUCP translation, and heavily hacked RBBS-PC
with several mail doors, all under DesqView. I loved DesqView, but the
DOS foundation under it sucked compared to OS/2 or *ix.
ObLinux: GNU Screen gives one cut-and-paste capabilities approaching
DesqView's, by the way.
