Wildcat has a good web interface but it's defaults were horrid. You can 
customize it but far and few bothered too much. The default Synchronet Shells 
(Classic and I forgot the name of the other one) are horrible, IMHO -- but at 
least the web interface doesn't suck. It's pretty nice for a default layout 
and doesn't look bad at all. When I get my themes done people will have evev 
more to play with. The point however is -- MOST any software, telnet and / or 
web is highly customizable. Most of the problem is that most Sysops tend to 
not bother.
