   There are a few sysops around still running DOS BBSes, Nick Andre, thwe guy   
   who Authors D'Bridge, runs one.  You should go to his website and or fido   
   echo to see how he does it...   
      
   Why not run Mystic or Synchronet.... they are being developed and are free...   
      
   :)   
      
   Good luck...
