   I use MBSE under Slackware Linux.  It works well for me.  DOSemu also allows   
   me to run DOS doors and even participate in a few IBBS games.  There's a   
   pretty steep learning curve but once you catch on, it's very reliable.   
      
   If you're wanting a more modern board, I'd stick with what's already been   
   mentioned like Synchronet or Mystic.   
      
   If you're going more retro, maybe something like Maximus/NT might be worth   
   it.   
      
   However, the big problem as it's been said, is DOS doors under modern   
   Windows.   
      
   I ran my BBS under OS/2 for decades before switching to Linux.  My personal   
   justification for the move is that I needed the BBS to do more than just   
   run the BBS and remote access (I am not in good health and I have been   
   hospitalized a lot).
