XBBS is available in the public domain and runs under UNIX/Xenix.  XBBS
supports most everything that Opus does (unlike UNaXcess), and is 
openended so that you can even run shell scripts as adittional features
of the BBS.  

You'll always find the latest version in /usr/spool/uucppublic/ALLbbs.tar.Z
available for anonymous uucp transfer on conexch.  If you'd like to 
experience a session on XBBS, call the number in the .signature and login
as bbs.  If you want to see how it is setup, login as guest, and look at
the directory tree below /bbs/bbs.
