    Running any BBS without a hard drive is problematic (unless you use
something like Warp Six).  FirstClass is only good for MacFolk who call
using the FC client software for the graphical front end.  The VT-100
emulation really sucks (for everyone else).  METAL/FV on a //e is
probably the best solution if you get callers using different computers
(Proterm Special Emulation, VT-100, ANSI, etc.)  The hardware to run it
is cheap, and the software is free.
