  I am hoping to start a BBS next fall when I come back to school.  I am
currently evaluating Hermes 1.0.8 and I like it, but I'm wondering if it is
the best Mac BBS program.  What I want to know is:

          1. What other Mac BBS programs are there.
          2. How good are they, relative to each other.
          3. Where can I get them.
          4. What do you recomend or use on your BBS.
          5. What is the price of the software.

  I want to get the best BBS program for the money.  I am looking for something
that gives me absolute control over everything, has a lot of features, and
is easy to use.  I already have Hermes and I would like to know if there are
a lot of externals and online games for it.

Thanks,
Kevin J Steele
