I'd recommend Maximus-CBCS instead.  With Max, you won't have to spend
$$$ on QuickBASIC (thus lining Mickeysoft's pockets)...Maximus only
needs a FOSSIL (such as X00) to run.  Note that both Maximus and X00
are free software, too...save a little money.  Max can run a multiline
BBS if you have some sort of multitasker...you can use DoubleDOS,
DESQview, or even Windoze.  There's also an OS/2 version of Max, so
you can run a multiline BBS under OS/2 as well.  I've been running Max
for several months now with no complaints.
