A BBS system requires two sets of software. The BBS server itself,which is used by the "SYSOP" who runs the BBS, which you can locate by googling "BBS Software". And you'll also need a user terminal program. Csabo's instructions will take you to two I know of. First is Higgyterm, and second is one I put in the public domain back in 1987.
You will also have to deal with interfacing the plussy to a modern internet connection, or use a dial up phone modem.
This forum is pretty much what a BBS was back in the '80s. The only additional feature the BBS had was a live chat room. I don't have any memory of how that was done, as I was only concerned with the terminal prgs.
