I was recently able to allocate a spare 286 PC to setup as a dedicated
BBS here in Boston.  Before I get in over my head, I thought I would
ask for opinions (facts welcome also) and experiences on possible OS &
BBS combinations for this sort of hardware.

I plan to stuff some hard disk storage on thing (100M - 500M) and
attempt to run 1-3 serial lines (intellegent serial card, perhaps?)
into it.  I'd like a reasonable upgrade path to some combination of
better hardware, a "doors" facility (Jim Morrison optional), and a
_secure_ capability to utilize and share network resources.

Usenet is a distant maybe and Internet mail capability is intriguing,
but certainly not required.

All things possible... Please send email directly & I will post a
summary of replies, if I get some.

Multiplexed thanks to all,
