I'm running Mystic BBS on a Raspberry Pi & quite like it.  There are also x86
Linux builds available.  It's easy to setup and since you're already running a
tosser & mailer you could just point Mystic to your existing JAM bases
(assuming you're using JAM) and skip setting up Mystic's built in tosser &
mailer. The default theme is mostly text based with few ansi graphics. You
could further customize it to remove all ansi if you chose to do so.

Synchronet is also a great choice, though I don't have as much experience with
it.  It can also run on Linux.
