Help! A friend of mine wants to set up a private bbs to help her firm
share information with its clients. She wants to use an ST (either 520 or
1040) and is looking for suggestions about both software and hardware
requirements. She's not on the net, so I promised to post a message asking
for advice and counsel about possible BBS software... preferably, but not
necessarily, PD sources. One problem that concerns her at the moment is that
her non-technical customers have limited, but diverse communications
capabilities --- some use xmodem, some kermit, some uucp, and some ascii text
only. Any suggestions???

It's a ported over version of Citadel from the MS-DOS world. The author { porter/re-vamper } is David Parsons, and I believe his address is orc@pell.UUCP. Much faster than alot of other non- public domain stuff out there, and offers a great deal of options. Why would I recommend STadel ? I run a version of it, and it has yet to fail me in well over 5 months! -rich UUCP: {Ihnp4,uwvax}!uwmcsd1!lakesys!rich Discalimer: The words,ideas,and expressions are my own, and not nessasarily always correct, but he who hesitates waits in the dark.
