Well, that would depend on the OS in use. There are BBS programs for Unix. I used one that came from one of the sources newsgroups decades ago and it worked really well (I never tried on a PDP-11 but there was nothing in it that would preclude this. I did it on a SYS III Xenix clone). BSD 2.11 should run fine on a 34 or 23 and there is always Ultrix-11 which I have certainly run on the 23.
