Looking for BBS Software for System 6 with DaynaPort and MacTCP

Looking for BBS software for System 6. Tried to get Black Knight working, but it needs 7. I don't have a modem, but I do have the BlueSCSIv2 Wifi that emulates the DaynaPort SCSI ethernet, that's all working. Anyone know what software I need to use BBS on it?

Uh, I guess I should have been more clear, lol. I want to connect to a BBS, not run one, lol.

Need a BBS / Telnet Client. The telnet clients I've found so far are missing configuration files.

About your only option would be NSCA Telnet. Unfortunately you cannot get ANSI graphics with this or upload/download with a BBS. If you're truly stuck with System 6, the best option would be to get a wifi modem and connect up with ZTerm.

I recently played with a reader called "nuntius", it is on the garden. Works with system 7 but I did not test it in 6.
