One thing I like about BBBS is that it does everything needed it self.

It's a good thing too since there is very little in the way of 3rd party utilities for BBBS!

I like Synchronet's mailer, BinkIT along with FreqIT for requests.

Synchronet's TickIT works well to for the file areas.

One thing I can't seem to do with Synchronet is get a nicely formatted file list but maybe I just didn't use the right options.
