Howdy all.

I need some input concerning BBS software.  The board I currently run
for my user group is running off of Forem ST.  Today was the breaking
point.  Forem has been giving me untold grief, and I'd like new
software.  However, very few ST boards run around here, and the ones
that do/did ran Forem.  Ergo, I have no experience with other software.

Would those who call BBS systems PLEASE let me know what you think of
the software?  I've been looking over Michtron 3.0, and it looks nice.
However, I have yet to call a board running it.  If there are any other
SysOps out there running non-Forem boards, what do YOU think of the
software?  Is it easy to use and flexible (unlike Forem, on both
accounts).

Thanks much.
