I would like to see a **ix bbs that allowed the option of logging in 
without going through all of the bbs-type menu's involved with a
normal bbs.  The **ix bbs's that I am familiar with do not allow a
user's .profile to be changed because the .profile is used to start
up the bbs menus.  I don't know about other **ix users, but I like
to customize my .profile to do what I want with it.
