I have a network with a 386i providing disk, mail, and print service to
about 30 PC's (using PC-NFS). The users want a bulletin board system.

My first thought was to install netnews (B-news) and have the PC's telnet
to the 386i.  A concern here is the thought of DOS users having to learn
vi...

As I see it, I have the following options:

	1) Find a bulletin board system that will run on both the
	   PC's and Sun and allow a PC editor to be used.

	2) Find a PC-like editor that will run on the Sun and have
	   it be the default editor for the PC users.

If anyone can offer any suggestions, I'd be very appreciative...
