Okay.  That's all fine and dandy.  BUT...

How many of the BBS programs you reccomend are shareware, PD, freeware, or what
have you, that would make it relatively simple for a person to get a hold of a 
LEGAL copy for perusal?  In my case, that is an extremely important issue.

So.  Are any of the BBS's that you've mentioned above available via anonymous
ftp or through a mail-server?  If so, please post... I'm sure many people would
be very happy to hear about it.
