Our school just dumped our local BBS system (PARTIcipate running on a
PR1ME) and they are looking for a replacement.  They want something
that is cheap, "can run on a '386 box with a big disk and about 16
dialup lines".

Several of us have been campaigning for some form of USENET access,
but our CC is clueless about UNIX, UUCP, and USENET.  What they want
is something that "the Student Association" can run.  (Which isn't
very realistic, but what can you expect.)  Anyway, I have seen mention
on this list of BBS's that interface with USENET (like STadel) but
I haven't really seen and documentation or comparisons to other BBS's.

Could someone please post a synopsis (table?) of the BBS's available
for the ST and the PC.  Like what is FIDO?  How compatible is STadel
with Citadel?  What other BBS's are there?  How much storage is required
for these systems?  How many users can these systems accomodate?  How
much maintenance is required?  Where can they be found?

I know the CC is looking for a Blue Box but we ST-types would like to
find out what is available for us as well.  Any help will be appreciated.

cheers,
