Hmmm.  Got my curiousity piqued.  I did the community college thing about 
7 years ago and did the required business law courses via Distance 
Education.  I vaguely remember this tool from that experience and remember 
it being a poorly implemented Bulletin Board (BBS).  Quirky damn thing, 
compared to WWIV or the BBS software Mustang Software sold. 


Sorry, wish I could be more informative.  A shame they don't support shell 
accounts, eh?
