Well, are you interested in having this BBS on the internet (like this or 
ISCA) or would this be just telephone dialup? There are very few BBSes on 
the internet (compared to telephone dialup BBSes) with main reasons being 
cost (initial and maintanance), time (more than dialups), and the fact 
that you will almost always have to program at least to customize. If 
going for internet, SLIP is probably one of the least expensive ways of 
connecting. If you just want to do a local bbs, with telephone line 
access, it is much easier to setup and run. It is basically just a matter 
of getting a bbs software package, installing and customizing it. Of 
course these take a little time and money also, but not as much. Good BBS 
package that I am a co-sysop on and I like is VBBS...check it out.
