i've been playing with the same idea a bit. i setup daydream, which went 
just fine with following the instructions. admittedly, i haven't had a 
lot of time to put into configuration and customization, but so far, i'm 
not overly impressed with it. again, i may be missing what's there due 
to a quick glossing over, but (much as i hate to say it), the DOS 
boardwares i've used before have been a lot more engaging out of the 
box, so to speak.

i'd check out demonic.net for general board info, and their links page 
contains links to a few *nix based board softwares.

i'm considering actually running one of the DOS boards under dosemu or 
under vmware, on OpenBSD or some other unix variant. My only OpenBSD 
install is on a sparc64 right now, so no dosemu for me.

I do have an x86 box running gentoo that i may try it out on. in any 
event, if you find any good solutions, please let us know.
