The software showed a lot of promise, PPPBBS allowed you to set-up your own
mini-ISP, users used the dial up networking in Win95 etc to dial up the BBS
and also could access the internet, all in GUI mode on a DOS box.

Here's what the file_id.diz says about it:

PPPBBS Version 3.01
Awesome new TCP/IP-based BBS program with many advanced capabilities.
Designed to let anyone operate as a complete, small-scale Internet
Service Provider, with a minimum of expense. PPPBBS can connect to
the Internet a variety of different ways: PPP Dial-Up, PPP over ISDN,
or Ethernet. Does not require "dedicated" Internet access, a static
IP address, or even that you "own" a range of IP addresses. Can even
"gate" a PPP feed to your Ethernet LAN.
Built-in: Multiuser PPP Internet Network Access Server, Web Server,
FTP Server, Telnet Server, Ident Server, SMTP Server, POP3 Server,
SMTP Client, POP3 Client, DYNDNS.COM Client, Multi-User BBS,
Mail Processor With Universal Mailbox Support, and much, much more.
Multitasker NOT required. NOT a proxy server. Extremely configurable.
MUST DOWNLOAD. Official Web Site: www.degraaf.net  BBS: 616-399-4818

I never got it to work, although I'm pretty sure it was because of my lack
of knowledge regarding networking at the time, not reflecting the
cababilities of the software.

A lot of people have been trying to track down the author a Mr Roland DeGraaf.
