   I'm forwarding this message, left on the Main Board of Prism BBS. Doesn't look   
   like anyone's replied to this fellow yet...

   Hi I ran the typical arc user-point-sysop back in the 80s-90s and had my BBS   
   (mostly..) up and running 1992-1997, then moved house, lost a carton that   
   included the BBS PC and most of my s/w and anyway things got way too hectic.   
      
   I'm now a few years retired, have looked up my node on the fidonet.org   
   nodehist robot, and am wondering what people are doing for "BBSoIP" type   
   systems? I can (I guess) find mail s/w, and reconstruct the look of my old BBS   
   using web resources, just wondering though if there've been any easy to figure   
   out packages.   
      
   I have an always-on PC at home and/or a hosted site that will let me run some   
   low footprint s/w for mail etc.   
      
   I know I backed up my ASCII BBS screens and some background music .MODs on the   
   filebone, so I'm wondering if anyone has kept an archive of filebone files and   
   lists anywhere. Also if there's any canonical list (or better yet, archive) of   
   the BBS s/w that were popular in the 90s because I can't remember precisely   
   what I used but it would just be nice to include in the History section of the   
   revived BBS.   
      
   Any help by reply here or teddlesruss@protonmail.com is appreciated.
