- That isn't very many and most any BBS package could handle that.

- Maximus BBS can very well handle what you are trying to accomplish. There are
- many others that can do the job also. I will list some of the ones you may
- FTP at WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU:
-
- MAXIMUS ------> /mirrors/msdos/bbs
- OPUS----------> /mirrors/msdos/opus
- RBBS-PC-------> /mirrors/msdos/rbbs-pc
- TAGBBS--------> /mirrors/msdos/tagbbs
- FIDO----------> /mirrors/msdos/fido
- TELEGARD------> /mirrors/msdos/telegard
- Quick BBS-----> /mirrors/msdos/bbs
- CITADEL-------> /mirrors/msdos/citadel
- WAFFLE--------> /mirrors/msdos/waffle

-
- Why 2 modems? Are you going to run 2 nodes? Just use one, that should be all
- you need for a small BBS. You need to make sure that you use a modem and PC
- that doesn't mind letting the BBS program answer the phone. You will have to
- set your modem up to that task. Most modems and BBS software are configurable.

- The BBS Above is located in the SouthEast Texas area along the Gulf Coast.
- The N5UYH is my Amateur Radio License Callsign. I will give you another

- No problem! P.S. TAGBBS has ran on many smaller drives. It is real simple
- and can be setup completely in an hour or so, including you making all the
- necessary logon screens with an ansi/ascii editor and configuring the system.
- It is easy enough to define message areas, file areas and security of each.
- It is real configurable. Much easier to get along with than RBBS-PC in my
- opinion. I have it availabel for download at the BBS mentioned above.
