   That looks like a Synchronet login. I don't think SBBS is limited to an 80x24   
   screen. My terminal is 80x30 and Synchronet looks good in there. I'm not sure   
   about a wider screen. My laptop doesn't run in 80x30 becuase I can't get that   
   to happen there running slackware-current. I have adjusted the font on that   
   setup to make it look like that, it's 32 lines long and I'm not sure but I   
   think it's wider than 80. I'll have to try some BBS logins from there and see   
   what I get.   
      
   I doubt if SBBS sysops care about a guest users e-mail, just enter   
   none@today.com or something and see what it looks like and give the sysop   
   feedback. What a BBS does or doesn't do for a remote user is important and as   
   a sysop I would want to know about things like user experience.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
