  • Highly customizable via HJSON based configuration, menus, and themes in addition to JS based mods
  • MCI support for lightbars, toggles, input areas, and so on plus many other other bells and whistles
  • Telnet & SSH access built in. Additional servers are easy to implement & plug in
  • CP437 and UTF-8 output
