I had a good friend who ran a WWIV; I thought fido a bit stodgy. Looked
into setting up a BBS with Fido, but found the process oddly
complicated. I dont mind if there's a network for parents worried about
what their kids will see, but what other BBS networks are still
operating?

What BBS do you dial into? 
I remember some which had a logon screen with 25 options, which file or
message system. Most of the time, just a single choice got you what you
needed. I remember others which showed an artistic logon, but then only
asked me my logon/pw, and then another click to the message section,
wait for that screen to load, then another click with another
screenload, and so it went- the sysop more interested in me looking at
the artwork than actually getting anything done. Like a lotta websites
these days.

But I still have OFFLINE.EXE sitting on the drive for the next qwkmail
setup.
