|    Favorite BBS software    |
|    11 May 16 16:40:19    |
      I'm just curious what everyone's favorite BBS software is? It's not my        intent to start a flame war/argument, I'm just curious what BBS software you       like and why. I've been running Synchronet (in Windows) since 2007, and       although I like it, I've started to get curious about other BBS software and       what advantages/disadvantages they might offer over Synchronet. Mystic seems       popular, and I keep thinking I'd like to give that a try. I know there are       people who dislike Mystic though (for various reasons which I don't remember       offhand).              I've considered eventually moving my BBS to Linux (although not likely any       time soon), and I've heard Synchronet has some support for using DOSEMU for       16-bit DOS doors, which could make that a bit easier. When I started running       a BBS again, I initially started with EleBBS since EleBBS is a clone of       RemoteAccess, which I used in the 90s. I eventually decided on Synchronet       though, due to an issue I was running into with EleBBS. Also, it looks like       EleBBS hasn't been maintained in years - I'm not sure if EleBBS has been       abandoned..              Eric       --- SBBSecho 2.32-Win32        * Origin: Digital Distortion: digdist.synchro.net (1:340/7)    |
