I recently came across a package called Link BBS, sometimes listed on systems
offering it as CommLink.  It is a simple, shareware BBS which is still in Beta
test, but I have found it to be bug-free as far as it goes.  If you want a
usable, configurable system that costs under $25 ($35 gets you some kind of
update registration), you should check it out.  BTW, to all you programmers out
there, I'm glad to see that interest in writing BBS systems is on the rise.  I
get the feeling that within a year we will probably see a renaissance in Amiga
BBS shareware not unlike the one we all witnessed in terminal emulation
software in the first year or two after the 1000 became publically available.

Be seeing you...
