- Well, I am kind of like you. I got Waffle so that I could join the
- UUCP net. Once I got Waffle I realized that it was easy enough to run so
- I use it as a BBS, so that others can get access easily.
-
- If I didnt want to run a BBS I would give up Waffle and use other
- UUCP systems. For one thing, Unix is much better than MS-DOS and comes
- with UUCP communication utilities. There is even a free clone, called
- Linux available for IBM PC clones, i386 and above.
