Ruben,

RF>I personally like Mystic.  But I have been using Synchronet since May of thi
RF>year and have configured a number of doors with it, like the SunRise door
RF>games, card games by other authors, JNS games, etc.  Based on the quote abov
RF>Synchronet meets your desires in a BBS software package.  There is a learnin
RF>curve, if you are up to speed in java script your good to go, but this is no
RF>necessary.  I know since I have no skill in that regard.  As far as setting
RF>up the games I can provide sample on how I have done it and there is also th
RF>wiki on synchronet that provides much help.

  My HTML knowledge is VERY BASIC, and programming is LIMITED to writing
a batchfile for the BBS, and setting the clock on the microwave
oven...and, that's why I will keep VADV32 for the website, and
eventually go to SBBS for the rest of it. With other things outside the
BBS, it'll take me awhile to get it done. It's not "hard" to do...just
tedious on the setup, but that's the nature of the beast.

  I think I'm going to set all the single user doors to write the file
to the startup directory (where the door is), but the multi-node capable
doors to use the node directory (like the JNS doors, the Carlton doors,
and the Shining Star and L.O.R.D. doors).

RF>My mystic board is at pb.darktech.org:24 and Synchronet is at
RF>pbsync.darktech.org:30.  For Synchronet for web go to pbsync.darktech.org:80

  I just checked my "Selected Telnet BBS Listing" bulletin, and I had to
modify it for your system (Prison Board BBS).
