The Microport BBS was always a 386 box running 2.2 and then 3.0e1. We also
did a bit of work on the UNaXcess source to fix some bugs and customize it.
I don't remember anybug about funny screen output but then I wasn't the one
that did most of the work on the source. You might have run into a 286 compiler
bug or more likely a C library bug (in puts) or a curses bug (I can't remember
if UNaXcess used curses).
