We run a PC-based Opus BBS to provide file up/download and communications services for our user community. I'm looking into moving the BBS services to a Unix host (probably Sequent Symmetry), to provide: - better connectivity - more simultaneous access - access to Usenet newsgroups - access to Unix ftp directories - less duplication of Unix vs PC file maintenance activities I'm aware of three possibilities: - UNaXcess (what's the latest and greatest version?) - anything in the MIT Athena stuff? - anything in the CMU Andrew stuff? I'd appreciate getting info on these, or any other alternatives. Will post a summary in a few weeks of email responses, subject to respondents' "don't post this" requests.
