For ease-of-use and overall functionality, HotLine Server can't be beat.

Our Review: Hotline Connect Server allows you to establish a Hotline server on your PC to service the needs of the many others running Hotline Client software. The server software allows you to maintain user/group accounts with custom privileges, broadcast messages, maintain a software database, and moderate discussion forums within your server. Guest accounts can be setup and ban-lists based on IP address can be enforced. Comprehensive logs are kept of connections and transfers. Hotline Connect Server is ridiculously easy to set-up and therefore will prove to be an excellent online-community server. (Hotline Client also available on Yippee).
