I do know there are several projects likes this out there.  I can't remember of the top of my head what it was called but I seem to remember that there was a massive project that was designed to be a universal cross connectivity server for older games.  

I do know there is a blizzard battle.net server for the old game to make them not have the awful requirements to keep an account. I have one and its pretty nice.

I remember one for Guildwars but pretty sure it was never fully realized. 

It can be fun if you do get one it won't really be something you can just hook up to the BBS but can be something that is advertised there.
