This is in reply to 'Hardware Joe's' comment that there is no Amiga BBS
software... BUZZZZZ WRONG ANSWER!!

There are around 7 commercial packages and almost an equal number of PD
packages. I have yet to see an Amiga user running a BBS on a bridge board.
Of course you could do it though.

As for the number of Amiga supporting BBS... my experiance has been that
there are far more supporting the Amiga. In my area there is *1* BBS for
the ST... OPPS make that *2* (We have an Atari ST area on our Amiga BBS).
While there are *5* Amiga BBS's in the area. In fact going by an old
edition of 'The Final List' which is an Amiga BBS Directory, there are
3,427 Amiga BBS's World wide. 

This is NOT a flame, I just wanted to clear this up.. THANKS!
