    Well I'm done with winserver I have had nothing but trouble with 7.0 and Im
    not going to 8! I'll use 6.4 I really didn't see any real improvements with
    7.0 anyways other than px. I have tried to get it to work had password
    problems with px and wcreport has dll problems and I wanted to start over but with the aup update it doesn't save a copy of the updates to try again. And
    I'm not going to do the aup again.

    Hello Sam,

    There are a few of us Sysops running v8.0 with PXW on a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit OS without any issues.

    With PXW, your BBS password must be capital letters as PXW capitalizes all letters to capital.

    With wcReport, a few sysops had issues with the install, it is just a matter
    of running the update. Thomas Kloos had a issue installing from v8.0 CD, I beleive that has now been fixed.

    If you change your mind then use the support site or contact one of us sysops running v8.0.

    One thing to watch for with othernets is that your are using the proper @fidonet with your fidonet AKA and @fsxnet or @survnet for your othernets.

    for example I am 1:153/757@fidonet and 21:3/107@fsxnet.
