Thats why I quoted 'heavily'... I'm wanting to use Synchronet to create a very retro-friendly bbS geared towards 8088-486 machines and hopefully adding C= (40 columns) and Amigafont themes for other brands.

Thats one thing that Sync does very well - it can handle many different types of computers that dial in... sure, Mystic can do the same - BUT I wasn't a pro sysop in 2o19 and built a bbS that is geared towards current terminal softwarez. When I dial into 2oFB w/ say... a 486 machine - things look MOSTLY correct; but I wanna build something that looks perfect no matter what old hardware users dial in with.

'heavily'. :P
