I used to run a Spitfire BBS at home, and ran a Spitfire BBS at work when I
worked for a local college.  It was great, it started out as a class project,
when the class was over, I was working in the computer lab and maintained it
for years until I left that job and the BBS left with me.

I am dabbling in Synchronet now and still trying to figure things out, but
it's up, and dove-net is working.  

Very different from Spitfire, haven't looked at the doors and such but having
it up and running out of the box is great.   

I like the other BBS clone screens you can pick.
 
Have a good day,

Philip
