Which of the two systems would you recommend, and why?              Synchronet. It is open source, you don't have to be a programmer to change       parts of it (I figured out how to customize some of the javascript bits),       and the author is responsive and accessible. It does have more of a       learning curve. I came from DOS BBSing where I had to know how to edit       configuration files (plural) so Synchronet was not that much different in       that regard. There are utilities that handle most of those config files if       you prefer not to edit them yourself.              It also has a web board built in. It is actually a web server so you can       host other pages on it also, i.e. otherpage.yourbbsdomain.net.                      * SLMR 2.1a * Gimme three chili dogs and a malt.       --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/17 18 116       SEEN-BY: 120/302 340 616 123/0 10 25 115 126 131 180 200 755 129/215       SEEN-BY: 129/305 330 331 135/300 138/146 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50       SEEN-BY: 154/700 218/700 220/90 222/2 226/18 30 227/114 229/110 111       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 250/1 261/38 266/512 275/100 1000 282/1038 299/6 300/4 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 712/1321 2320/0 33 105 195 304 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 119       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 2320/105 154/10 3634/12 153/7715 229/426           |
