- First, I have a question pertaining to other fellow Skyline sysops out
- there, if any of you still run it. Has the author (Michael Cox) abandoned
- his support BBS and the software? I pre-ordered the Skyline 2.x software
- update this summer. I received and installed it on august 1st. During the
- time period from receiving up until late october, I was unable to ever get a
- response of any sort from the author's support BBS. I haven't tried dialing
- it up since. I have been with this software since it was first released
- as Atredes 1.0.
-
- Second, if in fact this software is no longer being supported by it's
- developer, I would like to hear any comments from other former Skyline
- sysops today who have switched to some other BBS software. How do you like
- it compared to what you were used to, etc. I am especially curious about
- DLGPro, BBX, and Excelsior which I've already read some comments on. I
- would like to express that I am not interested in CNet, unless the
- user-interface has changed dramatically from years ago.
-
- Thanks for helpful feedback! My former users would like to see me put my
- system back up again, but I will only do so if the software is reliable and
- well supported.
