The best BBS is OPUS. It is free unless you are a government employee.
It does quite alot. To find it I would check your local computer store
for a list of local BBS's. When you get that dial up and try them out
from the user end. Do not take our word for it. There are a few good
ones out there. OPUS, Wildcat, Procomm (It has a dial in feature).

I worked for a company in Indiana and set up a OPUS BBS for employee
use. This BBS also accessed the Network News, and a LAN on the other
side. It worked well and is not difficult to set up. Your local BBS's
sysops will be quite useful. However look for OPUS (My personal
favorite).

From a system admin. side Opus is a great program. You can configure
every person that logs in to have their own directory. It also allows
direct access and supports many modems. 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200 and
possibly faster.

Good Luck...
