Speak no more! You (and every other will-be sysop) wants WildCat! by
Mustang Software Inc., who are also the makers of QmodemPro for DOS and
Windows.
Besides being *GREAT* BBS software with tons of features including RIP,
you can also purchase cool utilities such as wcPRO, professional analytic,
statistical, editer, etc. program for various areas of a WC BBS system.
Also, there is wcMHS, a Novell's Message Handling Service gateway for
WildCat! and also: wcUUCP, a WC message gateway to the internet for mail.
(Users get there own Internet addresses and you can poll selected UseNET)
Enough with the features (there are many more) and onto the prices:
Umm... Looks like I lost the prices, but umm... There toll-free order-
line is 1-800-236-6878 and there support internet address is I think
support@mustang.com.
Sorry about the price-loss, but this is the most professional, featured
package around! (There's also the AUP, or Auto-Update Plan: for $50 a year
you can have all new minor releases of the software (like 3.2 3.5 but not
4) sent to your door as it's released - or $20 per upgrade.)
BTW: I think WildCat! 4 is coming out soon, so you may want to ask MSI
when they are planning on releasing it.
Cheers
