Mr. Garson then talks about the SIMTEL archives ......

HOWEVER, I'm gonna throw in my $0.02 worth and say that the best CP/M
BBS I've seen is the PICS system. It's written in (Turbo ?) Pascal, and
has all the neat features you expect from a BBS. It is a little
different from a RCP/M in that you never actually get to see the A> or
A0> or whatever prompt, but since there is a BBS program looking after
security etc. it's much easier to do, since vanilla CP/M doesn't really
understand the meaning of the word security (3.0 may be better than 2.2
I just haven't read the documentation enough yet).
