An informal listing based on my experience: Red Ryder Host 2.00, WWIV 3.0, Hermes 0.91, FBBS (?) are the latest versions of the most common Mac BBS software. There are a few others; there's one in the SUMEX archives which I can't remember offhand. Also, one of the NETters advertises one he's written in his signature file. Look for that. WWIV is the one I use, and I'm reasonably certain it's the best that's out for a non-Mac interface (i.e., for a BBS that can be connected to any dialling-in computer, not just other Macs). -- Jeff Porten, Annenberg School for Communication, UPenn (sjporte@asc.upenn.edu)

There are a few others; there's one in the SUMEX archives which... I think the original poster was looking for a list of Mac BBSs, not a list of Mac BBS software... Once you get on one Mac BBS you will find pointers to lots of other Mac BBSs. If you can't find that first one, try mine. MacScience BBS on (408) 866-4933. Ray
