I believe that Jim Gilliland in the OS2 echo posts a "Family Guide" on a 
regular basis.  If he's stopped (and I haven't even checked that he still 
_is_ the moderator, to be honest), then I suppose that we (the other OS/2 
echo moderators) ought to organise something.

Probably because they've never run a BBS themselves.  It's certainly not 
something that I can see support staff being trained in.  (-:

Mustang Software has been leading users on with promises of "jam tomorrow" 
when it comes to an OS/2 version of WildCat and so forth for as long as I can 
remember.  A year or so back I remember seeing a lot of people become 
disillusioned with waiting, and switching to one of the many native OS/2 BBS 
softwares instead, such as LoraBBS, AdeptXBBS, Maximus, and so forth.
I'd be really surprised if there were many, if any, OS/2 users still sticking 
to Wildcat in the hope of an OS/2 version after all of these years.  I 
certainly wouldn't have, had I been in their position.
