A few systems like mine have "echo" areas called out like ALT-BBS or alt-
bbs-ads, etc.  One just has to log into the system and set up a user 
"account" to be able to start posting.  Once you log in switch to Message 
Areas on the main menu.  From there you can select the news group you 
would like to either read or post to.  On my system the incoming messages 
are pretty thoroughly filtered to root out rubbish and porn.

I invite you to give it a try!
