+<sect1>BBS interface
+
+<P>
+Spider provides a simple BBS interface.  No input is required from the sysop
+of the cluster at all.  The BBS simply sets the cluster as a BBS and pushes
+any required mail to the cluster.  No mail can flow from Spider to the BBS,
+the interface is one-way.
+
+<P>
+Please be careful not to flood the cluster network with unnecessary mail.
+Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by using the
+Forward.pl file very carefully.
