Oh my...sorry about that....the BBS(BBBS) is located at
www.fidonet.us:8080

I guess I need to put up a link on the main page.

In all honesty, while the BBBS works, I think it is a terrible way to get
internet users introduced to Fidonet.  The interface is kludgy, the
commands are cumbersome, etc.

If I could find a low cost/free BBS that I could install on a Linux server
that had an interface to Fifonet, I'd do it.

That being said, there are a number of folks running BBBS on Linux
servers...but like scotch, I think it's an aquired taste.
