   Never used it with Screen as the ubuntu box, a light weight embedded dell PC   
   that i stuck Ubuntu on. There is no need for screen. I can ssh into the box   
   and use BBBS from the command line. Or telnet in if I need to read netmails.   
   Or http(s) in as well :)   
      
   I tend to use binkd/hpt for point or bluewave mail for my own ftn echo stuff.   
      
   BBBS starts at boot up using the @reboot cron event. I don't put the bbbsd   
   onto standard ports simply to stop a lot of crap coming through trying to   
   hack. I just cron mail processing every 5 minutes
