I'm setting up a UNIX PC for public access and am interested in hearing
from others who have done this. Are there any UNIX PC BBSs out there?
What types of BBS software are available? I'm only interested in providing
news, mail, and possibly local discussions, to the outside world. Users will
not get to shells or Offices.
Can I use a different Dialup Password for each user, with none when logged in
to the initial 'guest' account?
BTW I'm running 3.51, HDB, 2400 baud External modem.

It is a very sophisticated BBS/Messaging system taht handles private mail and conferences. It supports networking via UUCP or directly to other P-net systems, it has a great interface to NetNews, it has a great mail interface, - basically it is powerful without being complex. If you want to try it out, you can call my system (714) 921-1090. Login as bbs and type 'guest' at the BBS Login prompt. I have a long spiel about P-net I can post if you are interested. (It is available for a lot of different Unix systems, by the way). Oh- you can write to bblue@crash.cts.com for more details.
