    I would like to add my $0.02 by suggesting that you look
    into a bbs package that supports FidoNet like Fido, Opus, or
    any one of the half a dozen packages out there.  

    With Fidonet you will be able to plug into the FidoNet
    network of >6000 machines world wide and via the Internet
    gateways (using UFGATE) you will be able to send and receive
    USENET newsgroups and Internet (and UUCP) mail.
