Actually, it has. Several people (including myself) are beta-testing
BinkleyTerm for Unix version 3.02.3 right now. (The code still needs
some tweaking, but I'm working on a few fixes...)
I was able to compile a nodelist and poll my net host tonight. I
don't have fpack/funpack (a Fido-to-Usenet unpacker) yet though, so
I can't toss any .PKT files.
By the way, if etmelag@pegasus.ericsson.se is reading this, please
get in touch with me! All the e-mail I send bounces back!
