 ====== Synchronet Console ====== ====== Synchronet Console ======
-TODO+The Synchronet Console is a text/console mode sysop monitoring and control program for the Synchronet BBS. 
 + 
 +For Windows, this program file is ''[[dir:exec]]/sbbs.exe''((for the v3.21c release for Win32, it was accidentally included as sbbscon.exe instead)). 
 + 
 +For other OSes (e.g. Linux), this program is ''[[dir:exec]]/sbbs''.
