Doug, After phoning around, I chose CBBS by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess (spelling?) and have installed CBBS to my Xerox 820. It's written in 8080 code and has many features. As well as being straight forward to use, it runs fast in a small amount of code and has nice features for unwanted or frivolous guests. It does cost $50 payable to Randy in Chicago. If you want to use a high level language you could look into the new one written in 'C' which has "rooms", can't remember the name offhand, I'd be interested to hear if anyone has used PL/I for this sort of thing, I'd heard its the most portable language across the 8 & 16 bit world.
