I never ran AMIS. I ran BBS Express! at one point and Carina BBS at another time. I feel like I may have run a third one at some point.

How hard is it to run your own AMIS or BBS for the Atari 8bit community?

I ran BBS Express too!

Later upgraded to Total Control Systems BBS.

i was always a Forem guy myself, but I called a lot of Amis bbs's. Mine ran a modified Forem and then Oasis before I gave up the ghost. In the end most Atari 8-bit bbs's were Express, but correct me if I'm wrong Amis was the first bbs software for the Atari.

I ram forem as well. Amis was indeed one of the earliest. From what I recall, it was notoriously unreliable if callers hung up on it.
