That DOES sound interesting. I've done a spot of Googling and haven't found anything like that, I suppose best place to ask would be comp.os.vms. Then again, if we find nothing, it could be an amusing project of course, writing a BBS package in PL/I or Cobol or something...

Speaking of interesting - I saw somewhere once where there was a BBS program written (not NOTES) for OpenVMS and I could have swore it was MBSE. A little googling revealed that MBSE is Linux only, and I would much rather set up an OpenVMS BBS anyway - I'm an amateur radio operator and would love to put my Alpha on packet. Does anyone know or has ever seen such an animal? Fred
