An informal listing based on my experience: Red Ryder Host 2.00, WWIV 3.0,
Hermes 0.91, FBBS (?) are the latest versions of the most common Mac BBS
software.  There are a few others; there's one in the SUMEX archives which
I can't remember offhand.  Also, one of the NETters advertises one he's written
in his signature file.  Look for that.

WWIV is the one I use, and I'm reasonably certain it's the best that's out for
a non-Mac interface (i.e., for a BBS that can be connected to any dialling-in
computer, not just other Macs).
