	There are indeed some versions of Citadel that run under unix systems.
I use one of them here, and I feed a local STadel site some Usenet groups
as well as piping rec.photography into my bbs. The version of Citadel
I use will network via uucp, but not via Citadel networking.

	What I would like to do is have some way to have a Unix system do Citadel
networking... To clarify, I want a program that runs under Unix that will
speak Citadel networking.

	As well I would really be interested in any knowledge about other variants
of Unix Citadels. (I'll summarize by e-mail if someone else is interested.)
