I certainly hope it is better than the version for the Apple. A couple of
the local boards are running this software. In some ways it's very good,
but seems to have some serious limitations- like no protocol file
transfers!

The best BBS software for the PC I've seen is FIDO. (I don't run one, but
they are the *nicest* systems to call.)

Does anyone know of an IBM BBS running under TBBS (The Bread Board System)?
This is a system which originated on the TRS-80 and was ported to the PC
and to CP/M. (It was the nicest TRS-80 system to call.)
