Actually, if you are inteested, one of our customers is writing a BBS. The board isn't completely done yet, but from what I've seen it looks pretty decent. Right now the board is Linux native, since when he started writing it that was what he had, but since Debian was giving him so many problems loading, I almost had him convinced to run FreeBSD...the plan for the board is to be ported to as many flavours of UNIX as people request, and he was going to port it to FreeBSD first anyway, since we were going to implement it as a chat/BBS/Mud server. The board is supposed to be free, with the ability to write your own apps to plug into it as necessary, and they wanted to write applications and games for it. If you want more info, you can reply to me, or you can get them the following ways: E-mail: djw@tbe.net Web: http://www.openbbs.org (though there is really nothing on the page yet) -Gary Margiotta TBE Internet Services http://www.tbe.net
