   i tried them all and i'd suggest synchronet.   
   the rest have issues.   
      
   for bbs softwares theres:   
   bbbs   
   vadv   
   wwiv   
   mystic   
   citadel   
      
   and many more. it's all about your preference.   
   try them out.   
      
   you can even run an older one that doesn't have a telnet server   
   by using dosbox or a telnet server like gameserv or synchronet with a script   
   to run your bbs as a door.
