Ever hear of Citadel? It was one of the earliest BBS s/w pkgs. for CP/M.
However, do NOT try the Citadel 2.11 you will find lying around. The BBS
s/w was upgraded by several people. You need BDS C to compile it because
you need to work out the serial/modem routines... the good news is that
Kaypro inserts for this are available. 

The derivatives that work well are:

Asgard-80 (I ran this before moving onto Asgard-86 for MSDOS)
        It can be found on Hotel at 916-927-7680 in the Asgard-80 area.

SacCit (Sacramento Citadel) which can also be found at Hotel or Babel
        
Babel - Can be found at author's BBS running on a TRS-2 CP/M machine
        at 206-363-8969. He probably has SacCit and Asgard-80 in the
        Babel Hackin'  area.

If you are not familiar with room-based systems (these are). The areas
contain BOTH msgs and files for transfer. Slick for saving space in
coding with a small TPA.

BTW, Asgard-80 will NETWORK into CitadelNet with a connection to an
Asgard-86 system that is on the net.  :)

Happy hacking :)
