I am interested in setting up a bullitin board at our company and I am
looking for some recommendations from those of you with experiences both 
good and bad with bullitin boards.

The requirements of this bullitin board are:

	Runs on PC XT or AT or equivalent
	Ability to have multiple modems (1-4) at speeds up to 19200
	Ability to have a database that can be search (ie product tips
	and techniques, solutions to specific problems etc.)
	Ability to download/upload software, source code, text files, 
	binary files (not necessarily binaries for PC's)
	A forum for asking questions based on a selected topic
	Mail facility
	Tracking facility of user calls
	Password security

This is a rough outline of the requirements.  I would appreciate any
input and recommendations on setting up this bullitin board.  Where
do I get bullitin board software?  How much is it?  How much operator
maintenance is required?

Please email any suggestions or recommendations, I thank you in advance.
