 +===== ProBoard BBS =====
 +
 +First released circa 1990 ProBoard has been under development ever since. ProBoard fully supports the ability to interface with mail networks such as FidoNet, UseNet, fsxNet, and mail processors such as SQUISH, FastEcho, GEcho, Fmail, and others.
 +
 +An asset of ProBoard is it's ability to be enhanced by user written programs in C/C++ using the provided ProBoard SDK (Software Development Kit). Programs written with the ProBoard SDK are called PEX (ProBoard Executable) files. ProBoard has the ability to run most, if not all doors programs and other utilities written for other BBS systems such as PCBoard, QuickBBS (QBBS), SuperBBS, RemoteAccess (RA), etc.
 +
 +ProBoard is owned by Jason Bock who purchased the software from John Riley.
 +
 +Features:
 +
 +  * Full multi-line/multi-user support. Up to 255 nodes can share the same user database, message base and file database. Each node can have its own modem configuration, welcome screens, menu structure, etc.
 +  * Built-in fullscreen message editor.
 +  * Support for 4 message base types: Squish, Hudson JAM and *.MSG, all at the same time.
 +  * Support for up to 10,000 message areas and 10,000 file areas.
 +  * Powerful sorting/moving/copying of file and message areas.
 +  * Compatible with most, if not all, doors written for other BBS software such as RemoteAccess, QuickBBS, PCBoard, etc.
 +  * A software development kit is included with ProBoard!
 +  * Integrated, lightning-fast duplicate file checking on uploads.
 +  * Hooks for external upload checking programs.
 +  * Extremely fast indexed file system, while still using the standard FILES.BBS-based file system.
 +  * Full CD-ROM support. 
 +  * Full alias (handle) support.
 +  * Flexible protocol configuration including X/Y/Zmodem, MPT, Bimodem, HS/Link, etc.
 +  * Local up/downloads.
 +  * Very flexible security system with over 65,000 security levels and 32 security flags as well as "reverse" flags.
 +  * TTY, ANSI, Avatar (0 and 0+) terminal emulation.
 +  * REAL-TIME multi-line chat built in. No stupid line-per-line chat.
 +  * Direct support for all high speed modems (up to 115,200 bps).
 +  * Added capability to run external Python programs.
 +  * Lots and lots more...
