  I've looked at pretty much all of them over the years.  The ones I've run
the longest were: Remote Access, Telegard, Maximus, Synchronet, and Ezycom.

  I had RA and TG customized to the point people would ask what software it
was.  My favorite to play with was Maximus, and I had it doing things that
still amaze me to this day (I have the old HDD as an image I can boot with
Virtualbox).

  I also ran WINS for a couple of years, and while I liked it, the fido
aspect of the board wasn't good enough for me.  I had lots of corruptions
and had to keep the damn settings written down on paper so I could re
create them a few times a year.

  Been with Ezycom for 4-5 years now I think... Whenever I got rid of WINS,
and love it.  Very easy to work the fidonet parts, and now that Gamesrv has
support for win32 doors I have the telnet ones back.
