At last a question I can help with!  A friend and I ran a BBS on a
Morrow MD11 for a couple of years (Starling CP/M+ RCPM).  We used BYE510 
and Metal 1.31f (from the First Osborne Group) - we found Metal to be
OK, if lacking in security.  In three months I'll start up the BBS again 
using BYE510 and PBBS (Pencin/Cottrell).  Any BBS operation will require 
a clock, though - the Morrow lacks one and lacks the time:: routine in
the BIOS.  I'm using a Hayes Chronograph connected to the AUX port of
the Morrow.  There are better, easier and more elegant solutions but it
fitted the budget at the time and has been reliable.  Source for BYE510
is available from most RCPM's as are the PBBS45 source.
Hope this helps,  Larry Moore  CP/M conference chair Canada Remote
Systems.
