You will. The next "real" version that Kim releases will have some howtos of 
the stuff that have been asked a lot included in the docs. Things like telnet 
configuration and general UNIX version things. More will come later on as 
time allows.

Yeah. I think the first time installation of BBBS is VERY slick. Just run 
bcfg4 once and you're off.
As far as crashing goes, I've never ever witnessed a BBBS crash. However, 
BBBS is a bit scrace on the informative messages side so sometimes things 
might seem crashy or you start thinking "this MUST be a bug". But, when 
everything is configured correctly, it's bulletproof. Damn near armor-plated!

Me too. :-)
The BBBS chat system must be the best one I've ever seen in a BBS software. 
Hell, it's a full-blown IRC client (with some extras).
Happy hacking!
