I'd think any Messy-DOS BBS program would run on a PC Transporter.  I know a
lot of the MS-DOS boards around here use a program called "World War IV"
(WWIV).  I think WWIV is a freeware or shareware BBS system.  You might cross-
post to one of the IBM newsgroups and ask for a BBS program that would work on
an XT-compatible (the PC Transporter is XT-compatible, if I read AE's ads
right).  From experience calling WWIV-based boards, it seems to be a fairly
decent system that supports a considerable range of functions, including
networking with other WWIV boards.  For example, a sysop on a WWIV board here
in Champaign said his system is networked to a board in Bloomington (Illinois,
not Indiana) and two boards in Missouri.  You might look into this system.

May I ask why, though, are you looking for an MS-DOS-based board?  Is it
because you'd rather run it off the PC Transporter than the Apple that card
is plugged into?  I suppose it would sound interesting if you told the other
MS-DOS users that you're running their programs and their BBSes on an Apple!
It would be a bit demoralizing, wouldn't it? :-)
