Most "modern" BBS would be 80cols when you're at ~40cols, have to admit
having never seen a 64col display thats and odd one... Mostly you're going to
be limited to BBS of the same kind of vintage.

A lot of "old" Apple II+ systems were only 40 col, and for the most part
you'd be limited to using a BBS running on another Apple II+, mind you even
the far better equipped IIgs couldn't manage a reliable ANSI emulation,
usually having to resort to graphics to display any colours, and then
rendering issues due to limited processor speed.
