RBBS can do fido.  There were 2 tossers that I recall supporting its message base format: MSGTOSS and RBBSMail.  Look around for MSGTOS2B.ZIP or RMAIL182.ZIP.  Looks like annex.retroarchive.org has them both off of Kirk's Comm CD numero 2.

I think both packages only do echomail.  There is a separate package for netmail, called NoSnail.  NOSN190A.ZIP same place is some alpha version.  There are better versions around.

I have run all of the above with RBBS 17.4 but it's been literally 30 years or more.  no idea how I remember all this stuff.

Back to the original topic, I'm not aware of any live Opus-CBCS systems on the internet.  1.79 is widely available and should be Y2K complaint. The older ones, good luck.  1.73a is around, and someplace I saw version 0.00 for download (sunsite maybe?), Wynn started with 0.00 as the initial release.  1.14 was a common version, at least here in Pittsburgh, but I haven't seen it around lately.  I had Opus running with telnet support via rlfossil years ago, but there are certainly better options nowadays.  I may give it another try.
