Are you planning on having your BBS available via telnet-only?  If so,
then you can use NetFoss 1.0 (www.netfosscom) and this will support as
many nodes as you want, up to 256, I believe.  I use it here and it
works exceptionally well.

NetFoss does NOT provide COM port emulation, however; only a telnet
server (Net2BBS included with NetFoss).  For COM port emulation, you
can use NetSerial which provides the emulation.  You can register
NetSerial for $25.  Same website.

I originally was going to register NetSerial because I wanted to use
3rd party doors like MarkMail and Cam-Mail but I decided that since
the internal QWK support works fine and the BlueWave door works with
the fossil driver/telnet support that NetFoss provides, that I'd save
myself the $25.  ;)

Hope this helps.
