I have a Kaypro 4/84 with 2 floppies that I would like to use for a local BBS.
I have the following questions:
	1. What is the biggest/fastest hard drive this machine can hold?
	2. Where can I get the boards needed to put one in?  (How much $?)
	3. What BBS software would you recommend, why, and where can I get it?
		- I am looking for the following in a BBS:
				* Easy to use file system 
				* Internet mailing abilities (not a must)
Thanks in advance.  I will post a summary if there is interest.  I think this 
is a great use for these machines.  I would like a discussion on the processor
speed vs 2400 bps.  Does this pose any problems?  I would guess for 9600, one 
would definitly need a better/faster processor for performace.  Am I entirely
wrong?  ( I also have a SWP 256K Ramdisk to help speed things up a bit.)
