   Steve, have you considered becoming a Node (instead of having the
BBS)?  It's a way to do all you need, by running what's essentially a
"private BBS", but not having the requirements of being a SysOp.  I
operate that way (I moderate Pascal_Lessons), and I use some clever
software, via BlueWave, to pack/unpack EchoMail, NetMail, FReq, etc.
   I've never operated a BBS, but being a Node gives me all the
privileges I need to carry out my Moderator duties - it's the best of
all FidoNet worlds, I feel.  If you need more information, NetMail me
or send Internet E-Mail (mrcope@primenet.com), and I'll be glad to
help.
   To Gary and others, I apologize for being off-topic, but this seemed
to be a valid exception...
