It depends.  How loyal are you to Atari?  (J/K) 

It doesn't matter which computer is used as a BBS; all computers can store
files from other computers in ASCII.  

You can also store IBM arc files across the modem directly on your ST, since
the ST can read and write IBM files.  Later, you can unarc them with pc-ditto,
the software IBM emulator for the ST, which at $70 is one heck-of-a-deal.

Hope that helps.
