I have a Xenix box, which should be pretty similar to a UNIX PC.  There are
a couple of BBS programs that are public domain.  One is Citadel/UX, it
doesn't allow news access or anything, but is a decent bbs.  The other
one I found is XBBS, which is BBSC modified somewhat.  Both are multi-taskers.
Neither of these would allow news access to users..

David Parsons, who has been hacking Citadel for Atari ST's and DOS PC's is
supposed to release a Unix PC version of "STadel" soon.  That would probably
be the best, because it does have uucp interfaces, but it probably will not
support multi-user operation..:( 

I am not running either software, but I have set up Citadel/UX to run a
BBS for a friend of mine.  It seems to work adequately.

If anybody wants a copy of either of these, drop me a line and I'll make
the files uucp-able..

If you want to try Citadel/UX, call up "amnesia" (503) 255-8346.
