Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I might find an htm based BBS or forum for Raq's ?

thx in advance, Propfast.
I use discus (http://www.discusware.com/) with my Raqs and it works fine. In fact, you don't even need to be admin in order to install it on a Raq. Any Raq that supports Perl-based cgi scripting will do. It's also very easy to install. For people who don't know how to install via telnet, it comes with a snazzy ftp install program that configures via a web browser and does everything for you.
The "lite" version is available free but you must keep in the link to the software/version info. The Pro version is an amazing $99 ($US) a copy. It supports users/groups, reply-by-email, admin-by-email, very configurable look and feel (though not all of that is easy), a search engine, etc.
