Well, I am kind of like you. I got Waffle so that I could join the
UUCP net. Once I got Waffle I realized that it was easy enough to run so
I use it as a BBS, so that others can get access easily.
If I didnt want to run a BBS I would give up Waffle and use other
UUCP systems. For one thing, Unix is much better than MS-DOS and comes
with UUCP communication utilities. There is even a free clone, called
Linux available for IBM PC clones, i386 and above.
