running Unix V.  Is there one available on the Internet?


Lyle, sorry I don't have an answer, but a related question.

Are there any functioning UNIX BBS'?

I am new to UNIX using an AT&T 6386/SX which is not yet networked, and I don't
have any other UNIX accounts.  So far, all I have is the operating system (AT&T
UNIX System V/386 3.2.2) and a strict or non-existent budget.

Would also appreciate recommendations for UNIX comm/modem software for BBS use,
and any other sources of UNIX shareware similar to PC-SIG for DOS.  Do such
sources exist?

Thanks in advance for any responses,

I always thought USENET netnews was a cool BBS for UNIX.  Maybe you
might try it with just a few local newsgroups.

There is at least three out there of which I have obtained the
most amount information from TEAMate which runs on a varity of
machines.
	TEAMate
	1800-832-6022
	MMB Development Corp
	904 Manhattan Ave
	Manhattan Beach, CA 90266-9871

In answer to multiple modems from one device .. Digiboard has an
eight modem board that I have found to be a good buy for 2400 bps
BBS operations.
