I am looking for pointers to public domain (or otherwise freely redistributable) Bulletin Board Systems. I would also like to see a complete description of the new versions of Net News (C news and TMNN 3.0) If the folks that are working on those projects could send me the appropriate documentation I would be most grateful. Why? CWRU is looking into the posibility of providing a Free community access BBS to the greater Cleveland area. One system is currently being evaluated but we would like to see how other systems compare to it. What? We are looking for a UNIX based BBS capable of serving hundreds of simultaneous connections out of thousands of registered users. The system must be able to provide easy access to people who can't even spell computer. (most engineers ;-) It must also have "private" boards that only "privileged" users can access. Any information about availability and ease of use/maintenance would be most appreciated. Thanks Much! -- Edward M.
