I always liked WWIV; it's small, simple, and quite fast.

I was not much for Fido-type boards, but that's personal preference.
I tend to find that once you learn your way around WWIV, you can get around
the board far, far faster than you can with a Fido system, especially at 2400.

At 9600 or 14.4, it's not nearly as much a factor.
