   This is basically what I do, but my main BBS is pretty much running the   
   software I want right now.  THis system is basically just Fido messages only.

   Yeah, my main system at winserver.org runs a very modified Wildcat!   
   Interactive Net Server setup while this one here at r13.winserver.org runs   
   flat BBBS/NT.

   I have to admit that Wildcat! 6 fails in the documentation department as new   
   orders for the product as some ship wihtou manuals and those that do, like   
   mine, ship with manuals for version 5.x.
