Citadel[0] is cool, free, and *nix based, also.  Although you can't
really call it a BBS anymore, or at least not *just* a BBS.  It
started an old-school BBS system and has grown into an interesting
Groupware/BBS system now.  Interesting project.  More information is
available at the Wikipedia page[1,2].

There are a couple of long-running BBS's still running on it, too,
including the "Uncensored!" BBS[3], hosted by them.  Anyone wanting to
check it out can connect to Uncensored! via telnet.
