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.              Allen              ...
