- Many is a relative word. You can use only one at a time anyway.
-
- Magpie (SysV/386 binaries I think, shareware. Very powerful and elegant, but
- also confusing for novices. Has multi-line chat.)
-
- Pirate's BBS (Needs sockets (BSD), don't know much about it. Comes with sources
- and there is a Linux port with binaries (tsx-11.mit.edu). If you
- want to try, telnet to jupiter.ee.msstate.edu (if I remember it
- correctly) and login as user bbs. Has multi-line chat.)
-
- XBBS (Don't know anything about that beast.)
-
- ix/Mbox (German program, don't know much about it.)
-
- unidel (A Citadel port to UNIX. Has a concept of rooms instead of areas. But I
- don't know much more about it.)
-
- Waffle (Everyone knows Waffle.)
-
-
- Well, those are the 6 UNIX BBS programs I know. Is that many?
