- Define "best" for me... and "free"... we've all got our favorites,
- that's why we use them. What operating system are you running, and
- what are you looking for in terms of features, security, reliability,
- number of lines, doors (externals), flexibility, etc.
-
- I'd be happy to tell you the virtues of my favorites, and why I've chosen
- them... but if you want some advice that will help YOU, you've got to
- give me some requirements other than "free" and best.
-
- You do have access to usenet... do you want your BBS to have similar
- access? What sort of messaging capabilities... all this has a definite
- bearing on any USEFUL suggestions.
