I am not sure but I think a real big problem is that there are mostly
Windows boxes out there that don't interface well with BBS's, nevermind
native Linux BBS's, which is why I haven't gotten too excighted about
getting one going.  Besides most of the problem isn't the lack of native
Linux BBS packages or terminal ommunication packages but with Fido
compatibility.  Squish is what attracted me here at first but now I am not
sure anymore.

That would probably generate quite a bit of interest.  That has been a
question I have heard asked, probably as much as what Linux BBS packages
there are.

If you're asking what BBS I would run or like to run, I still don't know,
but a native Linux networking capable Maximus would certainly raise an
eyebrow or two in this neck of the woods.  I used to run a DOS one back in
the Jurrasic Period when that particular dinosaur ruled PC world.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
