Mystic seems popular, and I keep thinking I'd like to give        EO> that a try. I know there are people who dislike Mystic though (for        EO> various reasons which I don't remember offhand).              I have quite a few favorite BBS software. I run Mystic because of the       simplicity of it. It does what I want a BBS to do and it does it well. It is       also easy on the eyes and can easily be made to look any way you want it to.              I also like Synchronet and would have not have to think twice about putting a       BBS online with Synchronet. I also like your editor for Synchronet. :)              MBSE is also on the list. It has the most robust mailer/ticer/tosser I have       seen. Mystic comes very close to this at this point and things FTN are on the       TODO list of Mystic.              There are others too but that is about the limit of my (recent)       experimentation with BBS software.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A13 (Linux)        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)    |
