   Okay, let's start here: are you wanting to run a BBS or a standalone hub   
   system?  I'd recommend if you're not using a BBS to use binkd (the original   
   version).  I haven't used straight binkd myself as I use Internet Rex/2 but   
   there are others here who have and do who can help.   
      
   From there, you'd need to learn how each of your networks run their   
   operations and set up yours likewise.   
      
   When I started Micronet from scratch, I was and am running Maximus/2 for my   
   BBS, Internet Rex/2 for my main mail setup for BinkD/FTP connects, and   
   Squish/2 for my mail tosser.
