Okay. I think this would be a great idea.. I used to run BBSes back in the 80s with a Commodore 64 and Perspective's C-Net software.. It would be nice to login, get the latest news and updates, mail, etc - chat room, message boards, downloads - everything all integrated into one system...

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The BBS offers a teleconference, menuing system, and user management. I'd like to eventually add forum support, but it's not really high on my priority list since it has less than 10 users (though I don't advertise it much).
You can see it live by telnetting to cafe.aitvo.com. It's pretty mature, and I've started working on a MUD that integrates with it which is a work in progress.

The plan is for a modular system, with each piece of functionality as a separate program.
If you wanted, you could run the chat module from your normal shell, and participate in the conversations.
Take a look at my BBS package, Photon BBS for *ux. It's GPL.
