I am running two BBS systems, one UNaXcess based on a 7300, the other
XBBS on a 386. I have just about decided to move UNaXcess to the Xenix
system, since XBBS uses a *lot* of Xenix speciffic locking features (and
is better for it). I don't think it's impossible to make XBBS run
elsewhere, but it will be a lot of work.

While I'm speaking of BBS problems, I have a problem that hangs lines
when a process tries to terminate. It results in a zombie process and
hung line. I was told that it was fixed in 3.0 (it wasn't) and 3.5 (it
isn't). Now people tell me it's fixed in 3.51. Before I invest any more
in it, can someone tell me if there's a reason to believe the story this
time?
