Hi Everyone,

I'm creating my board to be a replacement to the web-based and GUI Internet 
tools I currently use, like Google Groups, X-Chat, etc.  The only thing I 
can't replace is WWW, but all else I want to stuck with the BBS for.  ANyone 
else doing this?  

For example, instead of messing with a newsreader or Google Groups, I'm 
adding groups to my BBS as needed.  Also I'm rather used to irssi and bitchx 
for IRC, so I'm getting those setup on the BBS for me to use.  If I can use 
switches to secure these so other users can't get into system-level apps 
I'll definitely open everything up to share for everyone :)

Just curious if anyone else uses the BBS as their window to the Internet 
over web-based tools.

Sam
