Lora showed promise, but seems to now be a dead system.  The author
seems to have stopped developing it and disappeared, so I'd skip it.
I'm not sure of the BBBS development.  The current version seems stable,
but it sounds like the authors are not planning on releasing any further
versions, but are instead working on some sort of new system that will
eventually replace BBBS.  Details on their web pages were rather sketchy
though, so I've no idea how far along this new project is.  Perhaps you
might know more?  I must admit that a name change would be welcome.  I
find it hard to type in the 3 B's -- my fingers tend to just type "bbs"
instead due to force of habit. :-)
