Hello David!

 Let me chime in as well.

 A long time ago I had a CP/M system with CBBS installed. That was a bulletin
 board. Unfortunately I could not afford a second POTS line, so it was
 was not publickly accessable.

 Later I had a DOS machine with Fido software developed by Tom Jennings.
 That consisted of a BBS system and a mailer. either one or the other
 could be active.

 That system was superseded by Maximus BBS software and a Dutchie mailer,
 so again a user accessable BBS.

 I then switched to Linux, with Ifcico and Binkd as mailers and Fidogate.
 This combination is only a MTA with no message store.
 There is no access for users and nothing for them to read, this is
 certainly not a BBS. If it were one in disguise, I could read messages there
 myself, but even that is not possible.
