Hamish; It seems to me that there are several good bbses that should work under Linux. Though this is from somewhat distant memory two were RBBS and CBBS and then there are a couple that were written for other multitasking OSes by ham radio operators. These latter might be a bit more difficult to compile except that I don't recall that any of them used anything other than a console interface for the control op. UCSD was one source but I have not looked there in at least a year.
