In the PD area, There are two BBS available for unix.

	Unaxcess,	nice, but user interface was a bit awkward,
			installs fine on 3Bxx and xenix systems.
			Source available from ncoast!alberry
			bbs No. is > 216-781-6201 
			
	XBBS,		Fido/opus like interface. Written for xenix,
			but has makefile for SYSV and 3B1's..
			Source available from alphacm!sandy
			bbs no. is > 714-828-0288

I have run both of these for my ham radio bbs on a 3B1.
Unaxcess had a better way to handles messages files, but the user
interface was a bit hard for my new users.

XBBS has a very nice user interface, but the way messages are handled
is a bit awkward to maintain. Buffered I/O now supported in Version 5,
this will help those of us not on PC's with smart I/O controlers.
