Re lack of bulletins, even worse is the lack of users, whilst some of
our BBS's here have no users at all! My main gripe is that there is no
user program equivalent to Winpac, that will run on Win7 Home premium, as
it is possibly the most common program, along with Win8, that are is all
the go. Accordingly I can't interest possible new users!
So I find that keen packet users are still running WinXP/Winpac on an
old computer, that would be new users cannot source and don't want to!
So they fall back on emails and Echolink for their keyboard
communications.
I have tried some alternative user programs, but none come anywhere near
Winpac for convenience of operation, as it blends so well with FBB BBS's,
for its auto operation, storing headers and PNL's etc. It is not
compatable with an XRS BBS, unfortunately.
