Online computing is the most widespread movement in the computer industry today, forging new frontiers of information accessibility. Setting up electronic bulletin board systems is an increasingly popular way to take advantage of those online resources. Creating Successful Bulletin Board Systems outlines what it takes to put this largely untapped power to use. The book is a guide to putting a BBS online for hobby, problem-solving or entrepreneurial purposes. It carefully guides the reader through the steps of what a bulletin board can and cannot do, how to assess needs, pick the right equipment and set it up. Information is also provided on how to maximize the BBS to its fullest potential, covering how to run a business using a BBS, how to attract users and keep them coming back, how to transduct business over a BBS and how to use one for fun. This book also includes a ready-to-use disk containing eSoft, Inc BBS software.
