I have never used it myself either, but I knew the author and connected to his system on a reguluar basis. Pity he left Fidonet. He was really ahead of the times with MBBBS. Not only was it fully IPv6 compatible, it was also 100% UTF-8 compatible.

For all intents and purposes Argus and it clones are abandonware.

I have the IPvFox extension enabled for Firefox. So I can see when a site connects via IPv6.
