What is the "best" BBS to use for a Special Interest Group?  I have to
set one up, and the software I have is The Major BBS (Galacticomm.)  It
seems reasonable, and complete, but I don't know enough to know whether
it is good stuff or not.  I don't even know what questions to ask!  So,
how do I distinguish "good" from "bad" in BBS software?  Is The Major BBS
considered "good?"  And for a Special Interest Group BBS, where people
have to pay to get access (non-payers get very limited access), what
features should the BBS software have?
