There's three BBS in the Sydney area that I am aware of (VK2IO, VK2DOT and
VK2RQ). I also peer with VK4TUB up in Queensland and VK6ZRT over in Western
Australia. I think there are probably more, maybe down in Victoria.
I guess one thing you can do is have a look at the NETROM nodes list on
some of the main hubs, and see how many "BBS" aliases there are.
Besides BBS, there are those stations that run a PMS, either using a hardware
TNC, or using some sort of packet software on Windows. My setup is purely
linux-based, although most of the routing is handled by xr32 running under
Wine. Unfortunately I am a bit of a latecomer to packet radio, but it has
been fun playing catch-up on the developments that happened over the last 30 years or so that I was away from the ham radio scene.
