Define "best" for me...  and "free"... we've all got our favorites,
that's why we use them.  What operating system are you running, and 
what are you looking for in terms of features, security, reliability,
number of lines, doors (externals), flexibility, etc.

I'd be happy to tell you the virtues of my favorites, and why I've chosen 
them... but if you want some advice that will help YOU, you've got to 
give me some requirements other than "free" and best.

You do have access to usenet... do you want your BBS to have similar 
access?  What sort of messaging capabilities... all this has a definite 
bearing on any USEFUL suggestions.
