I have played with other software, SynchroNET & Mystic, the only two
worth mentioning, and I keep getting drawn back to WINS. The only

Yeah, this is what happens to me :) I admit I DO run
Mystic, but any

has a Fido
node number as does my WINServer 10 system. My WINS
system just polls
Fido from my Mystic system, that's all :)

I I have put a lot of money into WINS, for the most part it does everythig I want it to do. Anyway, I'm at a stand still until I get my new install disk

I love Mystic but when I have an issue with it it ends up sucking the life right out of me. I'll get a WINS system up and running and I'm not going to explore other options....

Seems odd such a great advanced system and your waiting
for an install disk to come in the mail? Just kidding,,
although that is a good reason for me to stick with with
mystic, I do not have a machine with an optical drive...

I have an issue with Mystic rejecting my FidoNET mail... talked to the powers to be ... and have since moved on. About the install disks, not sure where mine are, could find them, and I'm not sure why Santronics doesn't have an install disk I can download to have it update on the AUP system.

To be honest I like Mystic, prefer it over Synchronet, though I think Synchronet has more features .... Anyway, I have put in a week so far... shouldn't be much longer..

I ran WC back in the DOS days and stayed with WC/Wins up until Wins 5.
Once Hector bought WC I couldn't tolerate Hector's attitude and moved
on.
