   EO> I'm just curious what everyone's favorite BBS software is?  It's not   
      
     I've looked at pretty much all of them over the years.  The ones I've run   
   the longest were: Remote Access, Telegard, Maximus, Synchronet, and Ezycom.   
      
     I had RA and TG customized to the point people would ask what software it   
   was.  My favorite to play with was Maximus, and I had it doing things that   
   still amaze me to this day (I have the old HDD as an image I can boot with   
   Virtualbox).   
      
     I also ran WINS for a couple of years, and while I liked it, the fido aspect   
   of the board wasn't good enough for me.  I had lots of corruptions and had to   
   keep the damn settings written down on paper so I could re create them a few   
   times a year.   
      
     Been with Ezycom for 4-5 years now I think... Whenever I got rid of WINS,   
   and love it.  Very easy to work the fidonet parts, and now that Gamesrv has   
   support for win32 doors I have the telnet ones back.
