Though MSS has stopped expanding BBS-PC! I have not had a problem getting 
help when I called them.  BBS-PC! doesn't do what I want it to (it looks 
like it never will) but I'm not  ready to right my own yet (maybe another
year of school) and so far my users boo down every other package that is
suggested.  BBS-PC! is a brick.  It is not very flashy but it works, and
it is easy to maintain.  What I want eventually is:

	o Easy to maintain
	o Never crashes unless there is a good reason (power failure)
	o Can run sub programs
	o Optional ability to send codes to cause pictures to be displayed
	o Similar ability to send codes that cause sounds to be played

Picture yourself at a beach...  in the background you can hear the waves
The message text scrolls by over the sand.

Picture as well, being able to play Othello, D&D, and various other games
based on menu options of the board.
