After six months of alpha and wide-beta testing, Synchronet Version 3.0 for
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 has been officially released as of June 25, 2000.
Synchronet v3 is a FREE multi-threaded 32-bit multi-user/multinode BBS with
integrated Telnet, FTP, and Mail (SMTP/POP3) servers. Runs as many as 250
nodes all in one window on your desktop computer!

Synchronet v3 includes full support for DOS/FOSSIL doors, 32-bit WinSock
doors, MUDs, multi-user chat, QWK offline reader/network support (via Telnet
or FTP), FidoNet, PostLink/RelayNet, and much, much more! It is highly
configurable and extensible via the programmable command and menu structure
(PCMS) and includes an update to the popular Baja{tm} command-shell/module
compiler. Synchronet's security is infinitely flexible using Access
Requirement Strings (ARS), external SPAM filter servers, and a plethora of
available filters for user names, IP addresses/hostnames, filenames, and
more!
