It has great capability (sacrificing some of the user-friendliness), and supports Internet email, usenet newsgroups, doors, external UNIX programs (like lynx) and other stuff. We have 480 users on our BBS and it works great. Remember... waffle BBS. (comp.bbs.waffle). It also has a home page somewhere. -- James Benham jbenham@isis.ebrps.subr.edu jbenham@smhs.ebrps.subr.edu mcurry@fred.net wrote in article <5d1beb$evg@news.fred.net>... > I need a BBS for FreeBSD Unix.
