I am looking for suggestions on which bulletin board system to use for an
international non-profit organization. The desirable features are:
1) Two 2400 baud lines working simutanuously on an IBM XT compatible
2) Operating System is MS-Dos (not unix), Desqview a possibility.
3) Source code needed - I could convert C to MS-DOS environment
4) Multiple message areas, ability to send same message to more
than one user, mailing lists.
5) File transfer ability.
6) Networking of messages and files to remote BBS.
7) User and Sysop fast & friendly.
8) Reliable.
9) Reasonable price.

I myself don't care for the system but you may want to look into a Citadel
BBS. There is a new ver. out that has all the feachers that you asked about
and is in C. I believe that the price is very reasonable too. I don't care for
the format and there is no way to look at a particular message very easy, they
are not numbered.

I would suggest using PCBoard if you do NOT care about having the source code. It has all the features you want plus more. You would need the version /E3 which gives you up to 3 lines, there is also /E9 and /EU (which gives you unlimited lines). If you want the source code, the closest program to what you want would be RBBS. RBBS looks and feels like PCBoard, you can set it up almost the same way, and it comes out with the source code every time it is re-written. Get a BBS listing for the closest PCBoard or RBBS next to you. Or, give me some e-mail, and I will get the list for you. tharkun (Sean Ackley) tharkun@cup.portal.com --- Commercial Usenet 72537,1236 --- CompuServe PSM027863S --- Telenet, PcPursuit MPJV13A --- Prodigy BFU662 --- Source 1:161/450 --- FidoNet

No source available, but I don't think you will need it. 39 conferences possible, many file areas, and much security control. We also echo mail with many BBS's across the country (Smartnet) and have no problem with that either. Give our board a call and take a gander. We also have a Unix/Xenix conference available with a msg base dedicted to it. Hope this helps. uunet!consult!bob CCS Technical Support BBS (301) 476-5098 24hrs, 1200/2400/V9600
