I got it via FTP from you last night, and I do have a question. The one thing 
about unix files that I've noticed, is that few have install instructions.  
BBBS didn't have anything that I could find on where to unzip it.  By viewing 
the archive I can see it has several sub-directories that will go under the 
/bbbs directory, but I couldn't find any install docs.  Where is a good 
choice to create the /bbbs home directory?  Would /home/bbbs be good or 
should I put it somewhere else?  That info would be a big help.
I got my Slackware 3.4 cds in today and plan on installing it on a bigger 
harddrive this weekend. I'll install BBBS and a few other programs if I get 
all of my ppp and network files moved over ok.
