- I think that the best Mac BBS system is FirstClass. It has
- an Internet mail gateway, Usenet news, works on any Mac
- with a modem and over Appletalk, conferencing and lots
- more stuff.
-
- They also have user group and educational discounts, and
- the client software (which is fully Mac-like i.e. no
- command line) is freely distributable (try "archie -s
- firstclass" to find the latest version).
-
- Luck,
