      Eric Oulashin wrote in a message to All:              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.              Shawn       ... If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid.       ---         * Origin: Tiny's Trailer (1:229/452.1)    |
