User Reviews

  • Excellent product. I have noticed a bug in the 1.6 version. On some BBS's there is some issue with screen refresh not clearing the entire screen properly. You can see some characters left behind. This wasn't present in the 1.3 version I was using (Windows) It is present on any computer I have tried 1.6 on. I just tried 1.4 and 1.5 and it seems the bug is there as well, so something changed between 1.3 and 1.4
  • El mejor cliente ANSI BBS de estos tiempos.
  • GREAT program!
  • Maybe just for nostalgia, but not necessarily. It creates a very different kind of conversation. You might be surprised and might find it more interesting to try a BBS system. This program is beyond phenomenal for all it does and being available on so many platforms.
  • Excellent piece of software.
