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.
