I've been the system operator of a Waffle BBS running on a FreeBSD platform
for two years. It has great capability (sacrificing some of the
user-friendliness), and supports Internet email, usenet newsgroups, doors,
external UNIX programs (like lynx) and other stuff. We have 480 users on
our BBS and it works great. Remember... waffle BBS. (comp.bbs.waffle). It
also has a home page somewhere.
