 I don't see a lot of talk about any of the BBS programs for
Linux.  I don't know if that is because they aren't needed or none of them 
work very well.  Or I guess it could be because those that run them aren't on 
Fido so don't post in here.

RIPMaster was $200 up until Jan. 1st.  Then it was suppose to go back to a 
higher price, which I can't remember what it is.  It looks great and seems to 
be very flexable in being able to make it look the way you want, up to and 
including anyone of the major BBS programs to a,  AOL look alike. It 
can be seen at http://www.telegrafix.com/

 That seems about par with for a 2 node BBS, and if it provides
all the Internet connectivity, it's even a better deal.
