Summary: news+uucp?

How about "UUCP + Netnews" ? - netnews gives you your BBS, and
uucp can give you code distribution - create a directory
/usr/spool/uucppublic/bbs, keep an up-to-date file called "index"
in the directory, and set your uucp permissions so people can read it.

You can either give people logins on your machine (possibly including
"guest"), or set up a news distribution so you broadcast to them.
If your users are PC-types, either get an Xmodem or Kermit for your
UNIX machine, or have them use UUPC on their PCs.
