This is basically what I do, but my main BBS is pretty much running the
software I want right now.  THis system is basically just Fido messages only.

Yeah, my main system at winserver.org runs a very modified Wildcat! Interactive
Net Server setup while this one here at r13.winserver.org runs flat BBBS/NT.

I have to admit that Wildcat! 6 fails in the documentation department as new
orders for the product as some ship wihtou manuals and those that do, like
mine, ship with manuals for version 5.x.
