Yep, the main users are Leighton (old guard), Teik Oh (older guard), and 
me (ancient guard).

I have a live copy of flame (rsynced every night off mooneye) running on 
my home Linux machine, but it's been 20 years or so since I last 
compiled the customised LP-Mud driver from source, and it won't have 
gotten any easier since then. If there's any way of capturing mooneye's 
running disk image, turning it into a VM, and stripping off everything 
except for flame, it would make things much easier.
