bbs100 is a DOC style telnet BBS, developed by Walter de Jong:

  [ http://www.ka.sara.nl/home/walter/bbs100 ]

I've been running this software on multiple architectures under OpenBSD
for several years. It occurs to me to build it as a port. However, the
program's requirements are slightly heretical:

  - Everything installs into a single directory, /home/bbs is recommended.
  The standard /usr/local would be problematic for obvious reasons.

  - Default install sets up an internal telnet server that defaults
  to port 1234. An ssh -> shell -> telnet -> bbs wrapper written in
  c is available but is not a part of the source distribution.

  - The application is developed on Linux and features a custom function
  called cstrcpy() to do bounds checking on strcpy(). The compiler
  complains that we're not using strlcpy() instead.
