I'd like to let you folks in on a little secret, for providing seemless access
to USENET News on a PC-Based BBS system PCBoard is a pretty good
choice.

I know that I'll receive a million flames from Waffle sysops for saying this,
but the plain fact is Waffle isn't a very attractive system.  I can only speak
from the USER perspective, however the Waffle systems I've been on tend
to be very bland, and difficult to use.  That could be the fault of the sysop,
but thats what I know.

PCBoard, on the other hand (when used in conjunction with uuPCB) lets
you run a SOLID BBS system - complete with great ANSI screens, good
user security options, great file areas, etc...  I am sure that all of this
can be accomplished with a Waffle system, but that fact is that with
respect to these "standard" PC-based BBS functions, Waffle is lacking.

So don't shoot down the folks (like me) who have chosen to run a PC
based system, using PCboard.  It is a solid package with great customer
support that is flexible enough to do ANYTHING that CAN be done on
a PC-based system.  And the fact is, a good amount of my caller base
(which is nearing 400 - for a free system, that aint too bad!) use Amigas,
Mac's, Atari's, and Unix boxes.  I doubt they THEY believe that the PC
is the only computer system in existence -- Hell, I'm impressed with
features offered by ALL of these great platforms.  I chose PC's because
I can do more for what I need to, at a very good price.

If anything, I think its GREAT that guys like me can offer callers access
to the USENET from a PC-based system in such a seemless manner.
Doesn't it benifit us all when connectivity to this network so easily
spans different platforms.

The more the merrier, I say!

Cheers,
Howie
