I started my system, the Skunk Works BBS, on a system called Warp Six
about a month ago.  It died horribly on me about three weeks after
going online, so I switched to AppleNet v1.4a.  It seems to be a
somewhat solid system, but it did have a few small bugs that needed
fixing before going public.  AppleNet's biggest problem out-of-the-box
is that it has no email system, though there are several mail systems
you can add.  GEnie has a bunch of AppleNet add-ons in the A2 RT;  I
grabbed a voting booth, call-back validation, and a conversion of the
old Super Star Trek (which was hella buggy; never use HTAB or VTAB
with ModemWorks!).  People are saying the transfer section has some
problems, but I wonder if that might be caused by the accelerator
(RocketChip).  I'm still playing with different combinations of
settings to find something that will work.
