Unfortunately, for a true Win32 BBS (that doesn't co$t) Synchronet is the 
only opinion. As far as options that are not free, the only ones I can think 
of are Major and Wildcat.

There are WinDOS based ones, such as Mystic and EleBBS -- but IMHO, those 
things don't have quite the configurability, functionality, stability, and 
security of Synchronet. I used to run Mystic.
