Just offhand, names and facts: Red Ryder Host (now Second Sight) by Scott Watson, 2 lines under MF Hermes by WP Frank, 2 lines w/o MF (under the same program) WWIV by Terry Teague, 2 lines under MF FBBS by Fernando Borcel Mansion There's a few more, but I don't think any have the source available (but you can use the MS-DOS source of WWIV...) BBS programs for the Mac are few and far between, don't have source, etc... Benjamin Kuo

No arguement with that here, just that the original poster wanted to run it on a Mac Plus.

(800-522-2286) 7 Industrial Park Rd., Medway, MA 02053. There BBS system is designed to operate 2 lines and will run on the hardware you describe. It's SRP is, I believe $200. If you are running the BBS for a users group, you should discuss this with them. 1stDesk Systems has a whole line of software designed to run with their BBS. Check out their add in ThomCat at your local library or a purchasing agent you may know. Their software is not some re-write of an apple or PC system. It's user software, a special application with buttons and menus, is one of the best I've seen. I am not employed by 1stDesk, nor do I make any profit from the endorsment. rbrink@hubcap.clemson.edu
