A centralized, PC-based information system, Wildcat! is packed with more intelligent features and value than any other BBS product available. Callers can send, receive and view messages and files, access external applications, and chat 24 hours a day. This full-featured software is available in four configurations for the hobbyist, small business and Fortune 1000 corporations, and allows simultaneous access from one to 250 users. Since Mustang offers complete BBS solutions, Sysops dont need to go searching for third-party add-on products.

Wildcat! Single Line

An industry first, spell-checking editor to allow your callers to audit their text before posting their messages;

RIPscrip graphics to provide your callers with a graphical user interface (GUI) and allow them to navigate the BBS with their mouse;

A free-form menuing system that gives you the ability to create a custom menu structure and command system;

Support for over 32,000 message conferences and file areas to give your BBS plenty of room to grow;

Sysop-defined language files that allow your callers to select the BBS language interface of their choice;

wcDRAW BBS display screen editor that lets you customize the look of your BBS interface;

The ability to perform all BBS Sysop functions from remote so you can maintain your data while youre on the road.

These product features are just a few of the reasons why Mustang Software maintains its leadership as the Number 1 BBS supplier worldwide. Our liberal upgrade policy allows Sysops to start with our Single Line version and trade it in later for full credit to any of our MultiLine products.
