Hi, Mike:
I'm not sure I understand your questions, but I will try.

I am baffled by this statement. I see no way for us to respond
to this statement. If you are not sure, we are probably even
less sure. :-| You really ought to be sure, because if there
are already pBBSs in your area and they are already getting
bulletin feeds, then maybe another brand spanking new pBBS
run by a brand spanking new sysop, may not be accepted with
loving arms. :-|
However, if you watch the messages go by on this list server,
you will see, from time to time, offers of bulletin feeds via
internet (telnet).

Umm, if you set up no forwarding, it is a
"no forwarding to ax25 bbs network" pbbs. :-|

Uh, yea, I'm not very clear on this either.
If you are not going to forward, why have a 'full featured' pbbs?
A 'built into the TNC PMS' does what you have mentioned.
So, the only difference is the amount of message storage. :-|

As far as BBS configuration goes,
bulletins are sent locally the same way they are sent distantly.
The pBBS has no concept of distance or geography.
