I have not converted my CBBS(tm) to the PC yet - with a couple S-100
machines lying around running CBBS under CP/M-80, I've little incentive
to "tie up" a PC for it.
  But I'm replying mainly to say "FIDO(tm)" sounds like it would do what
you want - its a networked bulletin board and download system.  It was
written by Tom Jennings, now in employ of Phoenix Software (see almost
any PC mag for their address).  Each FIDO has a node number, and you can
address messages locally or to another.
