I don't know how common these command driven BBS systems are outside of
Sweden. I vaguely recall Waffle being sort of command driven (ie: no menus
what so ever) but that's the only one that I know of. 

Sklaffkom actually is developed to support both Swedish and English, as is
also NiKom, another Swedish command based BBS system written for the Amiga.

 * Origin: Delta City (deltacity.se, Vallentuna, Sweden) (2:201/120.0)
