I have not made up my mind fully yet, but I have semi decided that I should go with 2 A1200's instead of my A3000.
Even with the A3000 being at 16mhz, it has better expansion. (ie: the zoro slots.) You will need a highspeed serial card to run a BBS. The A3k can take the punishment far better than a A1200 can/will.
When I ran my two line bbs on the amiga (before I switched to PC and Ezycomm) the standard serial port's couldn't keep up. The asdg serial card was a great peice of hardware. The system got expanded over about a two-three year period to be one beefed up Amiga 2000. (I think it had 8 or 16mb of ram, a GVP '030 combo card, three or four harddrives, a 4cd stacker and other things I can't rember)
You should think hard about running a bbs on a phone line. The internet has taken it all away from the bbs's and unless you got heaps of calls it'd be better making it accessable from the net.
