BBBS might be another but i don't know about operation on winwhatever... mystic might offer some of those features it doesn't yet have in a future version but that remains to be seen... WWIV has had a lot of work done with it but we've not looked at it recently so no real clue what it offers these days... there's also MBSE that might be interesting but again no clue about winwhatever or all the capabilities it offers... SBBS has telnet, ssh, web, ftp, rlogin connectivity capabilities... the interfaces can be modified in any of numerous ways... javascript, compiled c code, baja... it just depends on how much work you really want to do and how deep into the guts you really want to go rather than just dressing up a few screens here and there... we have a love/hate relationship with SBBS and are still looking at other packages as time permits... next on the list is BBBS and MBSE but we don't know which will be first on the table... )\/(ark ....
