he does have dedication i guess. but renegade/telegard in my eyes will always
be better. easiest to custimize. the menu's aren't all strange. your main menu
isn't a message menu, easy for the most part to set up doors or whatever. where
as sync you have to learn baja *not that hard but annoying* you have to know
javascript or know someone handy. and imho bbs packages don't need web/http
support. although i can see that ftp is handy. in fact it's one thing i miss
from my ol' synchronet setup. all in all, i was happiest like i said with
renegade *cott lang coding* and telegard.
