We bought waffle years ago, it wasn't all that great.

The best bet is to build versions of 'tin', 'pine' and 'lynx' without any
ability to shell out, run parsers (uudecode, unshar, MIME), or save to
arbitrary files, then just add the users like any other account, except
with a special 'shell'. It's a lot of work...


Does anybody know if MajorBBS runs on FreeBSD ?
