I tried Synchronet and loved the web-based built-in. But I didn't like how to get door games online as it used a totally different coding and setup.

I came from Spitfire BBS back in the day and then was able to grab a 16-line WildCAT! server but I could never get the Internet add-on for it, so I powered it off and it still sits in my basement with an old Octopus cable and 8 modems.

I started using Mystic BECAUSE it was Telnet (something Spitfire was never going to add into it's coding). I can bring door games online within 30 mins or less, but that is just because I'm used to the door.sys function and all that.

I'll have to power on my Synchronet VDI and play around and see if I can bring it into the Internet-based Web world again. Right now I just have a proxy telnet from my server web-page, so you use that inside your fave web browser.
