Steve ("X") Tibbett is still hammering away on BBX. (He comes online on Plink almost nightly to brag about it :-) He's putting AREXX ports and a spell-checker into it. Last I heard he was going to go commercial with it. Who will publish it, when, and how much it will cost I know not. We've just had a "new" TAG-BBS uploaded to Plink - I think it's a heavily modified version from the original sources, done by someone other than Pat Hughes who originally wrote TAG. I don't know what's new about it - haven't downloaded it myself There's also "Custom BBS" which is another commercial effort and has been undergoing constant upgrades. A new version is now running on the "Private Eyes" BBS at 213-326-9860 which also includes an online spell-checker and other enhancements. You might want to call that board and check it out.
