[comp.sys.mac] BBS's wanted

paulm@nikhefk.UUCP (Paul Molenaar) (03/02/88)

Having permanent access to my company's telephone line, with permission
to dial wherever I want to dial, I'd like to collect some
telephone nr's of _good_, that is: reliable, friendly, open_all_night
Macintosh BBS's all over the world.

Could you please *MAIL* me the number of your favorite BBS?

Paul

PS The organization mentioned above is *not* the kind company that
employed me... ;)

This question has doubtless gone out several thousand times already,
but I missed it, so here goes again.

Does anyone a) own a PD bulletin board they would share, or b) know
of a really good commercial BBS software package I could buy for
not-megabucks?  

Either something that attaches to a modem directory, or even better
an AppleTalk based BBS, since my modem is network-aware and can let
callers be AT nodes.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  By the way, it needs
to run on a Mac II or Mac SE with Radius Accellerator.

There's a Hypercard-based one circulating on the $-nets, including
low-$ Genie.  Haven't tried it, heard it's a little slow, but might be
the ticket for cost, and speed might not be a problem on a Mac II.
