Did so a long time back but moved from Maximus to mbse which has its own file
and mail processors so stopped using it.

Running in a dosbox does reduce performance a lot also you are restricted to
filenames of 8.3 which can be a problem these days and as mbse handles both 
8.3
and unlimited file names (within local Linux restrictions / limits) the
problems do not surface.

So it does depend on what BBS / mailer s/w you are going to run.
