I use Waffle as a domain server for BCS.ORG; it handles mail aliases for
activists and staff of The Boston Computer Society, and will soon provide
Usenet feeds for our various BBSes. Due to Waffle's single-line limitation,
I don't support user logins at all; the only accounts are root and the
various UUCP login accounts.
