    I hate Windows 10. Not the system, but the interface. I prefer
    Windows 7. At the moment, using a old Toshiba laptop with Windows
    XP. And W7 x64 on the main machine. I like WinXP to run DOS
    programs.

    There is a program from IObit Utilities called Start Menu 8 -- it
    allows you to make the start menu look like Windows 7 or 8...and NOT
    the one for Windows 10.

    I noted when using SyncTerm (which I prefer) the QWK Mail Packet is
    in the time zone of the BBS you get it from. However, if you use MTel, it's in UTC Time on the QWK Packet.

    Yes! That is!
    I'm using MTelnet. I tryed Netrunner and works fine with correct
    date stamp. :-))

    The ANSI displays better with SyncTerm, IMO. Plus, it enters the
    Sysop password, if required. MTel doesn't have that option.

    The other thing with MTel compared to Synchronet is that the
    time in the QWK Packets is in UTC Time with MTel, but prevailing
    local or the BBS System Time with SyncTerm.

    Plus, I think the ANSI animation is better with SyncTerm.

    I had this problem with the UTC time stamp. Solved with Syncterm.
    Both work fine with ANSI animations.
