We are all learning Linux, even those who have been at it a few years, there
is always something, new, easier, better - whatever ... :-)

Well, I used to run Maximus, and MBSE BBS is the best, IMNSHO ... <VVBG>
BBBS is also an option, but I don't like the way it works and it's various
"quirks"
Yes there is a phpbb <-> fido script writtern by the folks in region 250 but
currently don't recall it's name ...
