newbie MudMaster questions.

Hi folks,
 
Having never even played a MUD before, I was surprised
when my boss decided that I had to set up and maintain
a MUD.
 
I had a quick look around (and had a few hours of what
I shall refer to as "research" :) and decided that Circle
Mud was the way to go. 
 
CircleMUD does everything we require in a MUD almost
straight out of the box, except for some minor (or
maybe major) features, which are:
 
1/ We need a mail/message system that allows the
   messages written to be transported to and from
   a Usenet style message base.
 
2/ The ability to run external programs and/or
   "shell out" from the mud.
 
3/ "hotkeys" style input in some areas.
 


Basically, we want the ability to emulate a BBS. Is
the above easily implemented into CircleMud?
 
Any input would be appreciated.

           ...It makes them wonder what you've been up to...
