For a beginner?  I would probably say something like WWIV or Telegard.  
Both of those are not too complex.  They are realativly easy to setup and 
to work with.  They are both very flexible.  I wouldnt even compare them 
with PCBoard or Wildcat! or something like that as they dont have all of 
the bells and whistles such as FidoNet, USENET, and other HUGE net 
support.  I set up a WWIV board it is easy and fun to run.  I would 
reccommend the software to any beginner as a place to start and possibly 
expand from.
