- I use Waffle as a private BBS for the following:
- 1) Global Email & News groups
- 2) Company private Email (5 sites MS DOS & UNIX S5r4 on 68000 total
- of 7 Internet addresses)
- 3) Auto-Magic exchange of updates between the 5 development sites
- 4) BBS for explicit file transfer from/to random sites.
-
- I was running one of the other "full function" BBS systems. Waffle serves my
- needs well.
