Very cool! I was a huge graphics and music fan, so I liked BBSes that had
good ANSI support. I ran Telegard originally then moved to Remote Access
(because no one was running it) and modified the colors a ton. Plus a
friend was an ansi artist in one of the groups so he would make me
screens.
Those days I wouldn't have been able to re-write the software to make it
do ANSI well. Plus Unix term caps were kinda crazy.
I really liked the multi-user chat on the Amiga C-Net software, but didn't
like much else about it. Was never a PCBoard or MajorBBS fan really. TBBS
is SEXY the way they coded it, but that was expensive and I was a little
kid running a BBS full of demos and music files (and some HPAV text files
;-)
