I use Waffle as a private BBS for the following:
1) Global Email & News groups
2) Company private Email (5 sites MS DOS & UNIX S5r4 on 68000 total
of 7 Internet addresses)
3) Auto-Magic exchange of updates between the 5 development sites
4) BBS for explicit file transfer from/to random sites.
I was running one of the other "full function" BBS systems. Waffle serves my
needs well.
