I run sync on debian and use nginx as web front.
Most services are handle from synchronet, nntp, ftp, telnet, irc,
binkit, etc

I relay bbs mail to my primary mailserver (dovecot and postfix). Just
use the mailserver from synchronet to receive and interbbs messages
because i'm imap user and synchornet imap service is not very fast
compare with dovecot

i run several DOS door via dosemu.
Under gnu/linux, Synchronet run very very well.


Saludos!
