Not to flame you too much, but I'd like to say good luck.  There is no way
a large company like Apple or Claris will produce a BBS program.  The market is
just not large enough for either of these companies to take an interest.  If
millions of BBS systems popped up overnight, they might look at it, but ther's
not enough demand.  I think you're going to have to find some teenager who
plays with BBSs all of the time who can program to make the program you want
a reality.  Just the state of the computer world.
