I recommend 1stBBS from 1stDesk Systems. (800-522-2286) 7 Industrial Park
Rd., Medway, MA 02053.  There BBS system is designed to operate 2 lines
and will run on the hardware you describe.  It's SRP is, I believe $200.
If you are running the BBS for a users group, you should discuss this with
them.  1stDesk Systems has a whole line of software designed to run with
their BBS.  Check out their add in ThomCat at your local library or 
a purchasing agent you may know.

Their software is not some re-write of an apple or PC system.  It's user
software, a special application with buttons and menus, is one of the
best I've seen.

I am not employed by 1stDesk, nor do I make any profit from the endorsment.
