Hi everyone,

I'm drawing-up some ideas for a BBS, which I'd like to run under Linux, but 
I'd love to throw the ideas to you guys and see if you have suggestions.

First and foremost I want to stay on LInux if possible.  I'm looking at Irex 
and Synchronet.  I want newsgroups, IRC Chat (hosting plus connecting to 
other servers like irc.freenode.net), and pop3 access.  When i say Pop3, I 
want to port my personal mail through the BBS so I can check it all from one 
place.  I also would like to subscribe to many of the echo nets, like Fidonet 
among others. 

Can Irex a   Syncrhonet on Linux do all this?  If not, what other apps owuld 
you guys suggest?

My reason for setting-up this board is I mainly use IRC, Newsgroups, message 
boards, and email when online -- so if I can get it all in one place (a BBS), 
then it'll sure make my life easier plus be a fun project to keep-up.  If 
others are in the same boat as I and can use a similar system, then awesome! 
Granted I might not open receiving pop3 messages to everyone, but all else is 
open.

Anywho, gotta get.  Thanks for any suggestions or comments... and take care.
