	BBX is a commercial software package still in beta test. So, you should
not have any luck finding it available for FTP anywhere. :-) I'm running BBX at
my location, and am running a UUCP node also. I don't have write access for any
of my callers, but they can all read the groups I get, and I can feed other
nodes down the line.
