What would you want/not want in a BBS as a sysop or as a user? My idea now
is to create a system including graphics and text in resizable windows, a
finder-like envinronment for copying files, support for multiple fonts, and
possibly sound support (non-digitized sound, of course). Modules would
be made available to support gaming, future file-transfer protocols, and
modem drivers. Idealy, the user would not have to know anything about
modeming to use the board, they would just have to be familiar with the Mac
interface.

Good luck!! For suggestions I'd say, if you can come up with a BBS that
offers the construction set capability of Red Ryder Host (2.x), user
interface friendlyness of RR Host, and the SysOp interface features of
Mansion (along with FidoNet mail (Tabby) compatibility) you'd have a -real-
winnner...
