- For a beginner? I would probably say something like WWIV or Telegard.
- Both of those are not too complex. They are realativly easy to setup and
- to work with. They are both very flexible. I wouldnt even compare them
- with PCBoard or Wildcat! or something like that as they dont have all of
- the bells and whistles such as FidoNet, USENET, and other HUGE net
- support. I set up a WWIV board it is easy and fun to run. I would
- reccommend the software to any beginner as a place to start and possibly
- expand from.
