 de> check out your PCB setup and see what it's all about!    I installed
 de> PCBoard 15.? I forget exaclty what version I own before trying Syncronet
 de> and then finally deciding to go with Mystic.

 Have run many BBS types over the years starting with C=64 days LOL
 But PCBoard was my last active bbs into late 90s & tinkered with mystic &
 synchronet over the years.  Always liked mystic more & was always trying to
 incorporate my PCBoard stuff into Mystic, but not being a programmer it was
 mostly just ansi modding.   PCB v15.3 i believe im running :)
  As much as I like my PCBoard, Im not as fond of the ONE menu/area idea.

 de> I ultimately ended up choosing Mystic due to the echomail/fidonet groups,
 de> however now I see that's possible in PCBoard 15.x and it blows me away. 
 de> I'm really curious to know what some of the biggest limiting factors are
 de> with running PCBoard in comparision to Mystic from someone like yourself
 de> that's actually doing it!

 Being DOS 16bit based was the main issue in todays age, use to run under
 OS/2 back then & that was alot easier even today, but i was having issues
 I couldnt fix, so Win7 32bit I run all under & strugged with BATCH files &
 stuff for a while & finally got it all working.
   Mystic does make echomail easy with everything built in thats for sure.
 Qfront & Pcboard I found worked easier for me, have run other routes before
 too. If pcboard was my main bbs, i would probably do a few things
 differently, since I cheat & used mystics Events to copy & do certain PCB
 things LOL  Since i dont use PCB to send/recieve echo feeds, mystic does that
 all :)
  But thanks to this pandemic, I did get my PCBoard up & running at least,
 which I strugged with before & in a way gave up trying & why i tinkered with
 mystic.
