This is one reason why I prefer Wildcat over Excalibur.  AFAIK Excalibur
offers _only_ a Windows-based terminal program and if you don't run that
terminal program you can't login (except for a method that lets you call an
Excalibur BBS to download the dedicated terminal program).  Wildcat still
offers 'standard' ANSI terminal together with RIP and the full graphical
system that it, to all intents and purposes, WWW-based.  You code most of
the BBS' look and feel in HTML directly.

At least, that's what I've been reading up on lately.  The kicker is that
Wildcat is fairly expensive for a decent node license (2 line version is
about US$300 or so and it climbs from there).
