   I've always loved Wildcat... and Winserver, although it's expensive, has every   
   bell and whistle imaginable.  It's a lot more configurable than Synchronet...   
   but you don't have the source code.  Synchronet is still developing their   
   fidonet, but Winserver has all but stoped development of it as they considr it   
   a dead technology.   
      
   To be honest, Fidonet could totally be revived if someone would write an   
   iPad/Android app that interfaces with a BBS Server.
