 WH> Brian,
 WH>      I have been running BBBS/L on my Linux system for 
 WH> over 4 months and find
 WH> it very solid.  Fairly easy to install and includes the front end 
 WH> mailer, tosser all in one package and runs in its own 
 WH> dir.  It can have multi-lines and chat features if you 
 WH> want.  I have a 2 line system and use second node for 
 WH> reading replying to mail.  It includes everything RA 
 WH> can do except the menu system is confusing at first 
 WH> but just doing ? tells all.  Complete docs included.  
 WH> Lots of good support available also.  The file to get is
 WH> 'bbbs_l.zip' 1.06 meg.  I have in my pub dir for 
 WH> downloading or you can get
 WH> from 'ftp.bbbs.net'. I dont have freq set up yet.
 WH>     The initial install gets you a trial version that 
 WH> limits callers to 30
 WH> min./day.  Registration for 2 node version is $60 US.
 WH>     I tried Lora but it kept crashing and never did get help to solve 
t.
 WH> There are 1 or 2 others but I am not sure they include 
 WH> Fido capability. Hope this helps.
 WH> Warren
