Hello Vince!

I currently do not run a BBS package on purpose, but thanks for the 
information, it will be useful in the future to me.

My RPi is running connected to a NAS that is holding all the file and message 
base. And all in all I am very happy with the RPi, it's doing exactly what it 
should do and is small and quite :)
