If you want to run a BBS on a C64 and are worried about real hardware, run it on the Vice Emulator. I run 2 Image BBS' on Vice setups, one is a full blown CMD HD/Ramlink/SCPU setup running at 20mhz and 38.4k modem speed, and the other is my 1993 Image 1.2 board that is exactly the same as it was back on the day I took it offline. That one is running on a Vice with Lt Kernal HD set up. I have the real hard ware here if I wanted to run it but why destroy running a 40 year old computer 24/7 when you can pick up a off lease PC and dedicate it to Vice and emulation... It's worth looking into..
