* EleBBS Support List

I was only highlighting the fact in ProBoard a sysop could define up to 8 
strings or lines per prompt, including lightbar & position. On the downside, 
one would lose the lightbar ability in the menus.

All in all, I am quite please with EleBBS and 99% complete in getting the 
board online after last night's set back. I have had my eye on it for the 
past three years, but wasnt in a position to begin working on it due to 
other commitments.

I really like the straight forwardness of the Q-A scripts and plan on 
tackling those next month. Out of the RA compatable boards, I think EleBBS 
has the most going for it at this point. Synchornet has a larger following, 
but who wants to be like everyone else?

Do we have anyone beta testing the native FreeBSD version?
