   As I have re-stumbled upon the "modern" BBS scene today, it seems to me that   
   the two most popular and actively maintained BBS packages are Synchronet BBS   
   (home-based at Vertrauen) and Mystic BBS (home-based at the Agency BBS). Both   
   seem to be very similar, but have different stylistic takes on the user   
   interface.   
      
   My Questions: For an old SysOp from the 1980s looking to experiment with   
   setting up a BBS today, mostly for fun and hobbying --   
      
   1. Which of the two systems would you recommend, and why?   
      
   2. What are some of the unique differences that you like about the two systems?   
   3. Can the two systems coexist and run in parallel with the same userbase (as   
   showcased by at least a couple of active BBS'es)?   
      
   Definitely looking for opinions, chatter, and educational perspectives from   
   those of us who are active on the BBS community today.  Thanks!
