SysOps who have used Phoenix, Wildcat or Spitfire BBS software... why?
I've never ran a BBS with any of those (and I haven't heard of Phoenix), but I remember there being Wildcat and Spitfire BBSes in my area in the 90s. They seemed like decent BBS software. I think the owners ofI've still got my single node Wildcat 4 software in the original box. I ran
Wildcat still charge the same amount of money for it today, which makes
me not want to use it now.. I don't know if Spitfire is still being developed.
I think I had briefly tried out Wildcat and Spitfire (among others) in
the early 90s before I started running my own BBS in 1994, and I decided on RemoteAccess.

Santronics Software still licenses the software, though from stories I read they don't seem particularly interested in hobby BBSes so they may be focusing on a corporpate customer base.
I'm not sure what the specific draw to Wildcat is, but it's enough to keep a community around, which is great to see!
I've still got my single node Wildcat 4 software in the original box. I ran it in the mid '90's and enjoyed it. However, when I started back
up, I refused to pay the upgrade fee that was required. I'm happy with Mystic (for the most part!)
Although I never ran Wildcat, it always seemed to be like a very capable BBS package.
Who is even running a corporate BBS these days? Maybe their software
does something more than running a BBS?
