TEAMate is good group-ware and worthy of its price. While
you can set up a bbs with Apache, Lynx, and a few other tools,
it won't do what TEAMate can do.
Unix gurus are expensive and TEAMate can remove the need for
significan't amounts of a Unix guru's time. This can save
25,000 dollars in a year, so it may be worth it.
Chris' Comments are correct in my mind, TEAMate is far more than
your average BBS.
