I am looking for a toy project to code and I was thinking to write a
BBS server. Anybody has some documentation or can suggest an open-
source server I can study?

[x84](https://github.com/jquast/x84) is probably a good place to
start.

[Synchronet](http://wiki.synchro.net/) is open-source, so I suppose
that would be one you could study.

A couple of modern systems:

* [ENiGMA 1/2](https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs) in Node.Js
* [x/84](https://github.com/jquast/x84) in Python

You can download tons of older sources in C, BASIC, and Python amongst
others.

Depends on what you're after.

It's basically just a remote connection to a server where you get a
custom shell with restricted access plus terminal applications.
