I use MBSE under Slackware Linux.  It works well for me.  DOSemu also allows
me to run DOS doors and even participate in a few IBBS games.  There's a
pretty steep learning curve but once you catch on, it's very reliable.

If you're wanting a more modern board, I'd stick with what's already been
mentioned like Synchronet or Mystic.

If you're going more retro, maybe something like Maximus/NT might be worth
it.

However, the big problem as it's been said, is DOS doors under modern
Windows.

I ran my BBS under OS/2 for decades before switching to Linux.  My personal
justification for the move is that I needed the BBS to do more than just
run the BBS and remote access (I am not in good health and I have been
hospitalized a lot).
