BBSs are really the thing from about 1978 to

where you lived). Examples of the big BBS are Source, Delphi, Well,
STD(software tool and die), and the big one Compuserve. Small ones
like Sage and those mentioned by inference on the Walnutcreek CD are
the more common small guys.
I know--I ran one myself initially with an MS-DOS base and eventually
with an NT 4.0 one. USR Couriers.
My point is that if you're talking about making something that resembles
something that was done on a PC (286/386/486), why not use a PC?
8-bit x80 BBS were generally along the lines of BYE510 affairs and were
pretty clunky.
Anyone remember Boardwatch magazine?
