WildCat! BBS is an extremely powerful package, and version 4 (still to be
released) has all (most of?) the features of PcBoard 15.1 and MORE. V4
also includes it's own scripting language, so you can basically 'rewrite'
the software if youy like.
There are also great utilities, such as wcPRO - assorted utilties - wcUUCP,
a WC <-> INET import/export utility and also gateways to Compuserve and MHS.
There is also a fax-back door and the WC questionnaire format has many feat-
ures, including pre-set fields for the various credit cards.
WC comes in Single, Multi, Pro and Intellegent Multiport (Platinum in 4).
Single = 1 noed, Multu = 10 nodes, Pro = 250 and IM = 250, but makes use
of the DigiBoard, allowing up to eight nodes on a SINGLE machine...
I can e-mail you the WC4 feature list if you want...
Cheers
