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.
