I recently purchaced the july 97 release of FreeBSD, and im looking to start a BBS with it. Could you help me? A friend told me I had to first set up dial up networking, and then get a mailer program on, and set that up. Im not quite sure how to do that... another friend said a BBS package might be the easiest route... Im not quite sure what to do. I've got BSD, and I want to use it, but my difficulty lies in not being able to find information on this fine OS. My Box is sitting in my basement till I can find a way of setting up this BBS... any resources on setting up and running BBS's on the freeBSD platform would be much apprieciated. PS. FreeBSD is a GREAT OS, better than Linux, but what is nessessary is better introductory to advanced level books. Thank You Very Much Charles
