subject: Favorite BBS software

-> Ah, I see.  That would cover the public message areas, but what about 
-> things like files and door games?  Door games in particular are still 
-> fairly popular.

-> Also, for the type of app you're describing, I think the BBS server 
-> software would likely need to specially support that, too.  Some BBS 
-> software (such as Synchronet) has a built-in NNTP server, which may work 
-> with an app like that, but NNTP is probably not an optimal protocol for 
-> that purpose.

Winserver already has the "Wildcat Navigator" if Hector would release an
API for it i'm sure that other aspects can be added.  As for files
every thing on the ipad and Android goes through their respective app
stores unless you jailbreak or go through a developer access.  Many
won't do that.

As for doors even a whole new class of games could be developed... but
conferences and messaging has been the heart of the BBS since day 1.
