You should try the AKCS bbs package - it runs under UNIX (and is therefore
automagically multi-user), is VERY easy to use.  It can be linked to other
bbs's and to USENET.  It does all sorts of neat things.  Call MCS at
(312) 566-8910 for complete info.  (It's priced reasonably, too.)

The usual disclaimer - I am not associated with MCS in any way except as an
extremely satisfied customer/user.
