I'm running a highly modded version of WWIV 4.24a, D'Bridge and WWIVTOSS. 
The BBS is running in an eCS VM, and D'Bridge/WWIVTOSS is running in a
Windows XP VM - all on my VMware ESXi 5.5 cluster.


Why I like my setup:

1)  I like the classic BBS style of WWIV.  Been using it ever since I went
from Apple to PC back in the late 80s.  

2)  I have the source code and can make any changes I want.

What don't I like?

1)  The fact that WWIVnet is gone.

2)  There is no native FTN integration with WWIV, making it difficult for
new WWIV systems to join FTN networks.  Using WWIVTOSS does make the
process easier, but not seamless.
