My favorite is Hermes BBS.  The current version is 1.0.4.  Hermes is
shareware for $75, and well worth the price.  It can handle up to 10 nodes,
all running from one computer.  Of course, if you want to have more than 2
nodes you'll need to get a 3rd party serial port card.  Hermes supports ANSI
color graphics, has a good messageing and file transfer system, and is Tabby
compatable.  Tabby allows message sharing on the FidoNet network.  In
addition, Hermes will soon (this month sometime) have online game
capabilities.
