I want to setup a retrocomputing-centered BBS running on either my OS
X machine or my hosted Linux box. I was building up to using an Apple
IIe and native BBS software using tcpser modem emulator but the
software is so limited it occurs to me I could make a much richer
experience using modern BBS software on more flexible hardware.

What is a solid system out there that I might run with?

If you're willing to run experimental, I'm willing to help get
Synchronet working on OS X (it already runs on Linux).

How would you eval this against Synchronet?

If you want to live dangerously, try out
[ENiGMA½](https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs) :D. It's alpha code
at this point, but it's also very moldable. Linux and OS X both work
great.
