    Hi,

    I have been looking at both BEEMail and OPenxp.

    Would anyone be kind enough to help me figure it out?

    I am at a novice level. Someone set up one for me in the 90's from
    Yellowknife NWT.

    $400.00/mth phone bills took that out.

    I would like a BBS but I think I should just stay a point.

    Cheers,
    Alan

    Myself as well...from the early 90's. Got angry at Facebook...so came back to the fold.

    Right now...an trying to set up an ArcaOS (OS/2) BBS with the last version of Telegard for OS/2...because Mystic no longer has a version for OS/2. Hopefully...the author has been talking about starting it up again...but
    until that time...will get everything set up.

    I would like a BBS but I think I should just stay a point.

    May I suggest that you setup a BBS package...but make it a closed/private system. That way...you can find a package you will like that if you decide to open up your board...just change usually 1 setting in your configuration. For that matter...you could do this for a point as well running a BBS package.

    I can't help with BeeMail but I and a few others can certainly help with OpenXP.
