With out a doubt, XBBS is the best BBS software available for UNIX (tm).
It is completely configurable on a per user basis, supports multiple
message areas, file areas, file transfer protocols, and is fully open
ended in that you can add any shell script or application program to
the menu for the use of your users.  The latest release has full usenet
support as well.  The features are just too numerous to mention them all.
 
The best part is its cost.  It's free for the taking!  Get the latest
version from site alphacm.  The file you want is
	/usr/spool/uucppublic/ALLbbs.tar.Z
Here's a Systems/L.sys entery you can use:

	alphacm Any ACU 2400 8988634 "" "" ogin:-"BREAK"-ogin: nuucp

There are several hundred sites now running XBBS including AT&T,
IBM, The Justice Department, NYU, ...
