A few days ago I asked if anyone knew about BBS software for the Amiga. I got a couple of answers. mccarrol%topaz.rutgers.edu (Mark C. Carrol) writes: >Well, for one thing, I can reccomend TAG.

Does anyone know where one can find the source for Citadel? With source code available for both Citadel and TAGBBS the future for Amiga BBS systems looks bright.
