I ran MagickaBBS and, later, Talisman BBS on a Pi.  They were both pretty
easy to set up, and IIRC Talisman is still being maintained
(talismanbbs.org).

I was running both on a Pi 2.  A Pi 3 or better might work better for
Talisman.

There are folks running both Synchronet and maybe Mystic on Pis, too.  I
have not tried those.
