Hello everybody,
zap reminded me of my promise and so here it is, the source code for my little, (experimental?!) BBS called "Contiki BBS" plus a neat little setup program and a BBS-worthy color scheme. The .tar.gz archive contains all the sources you need. Just unpack them into your contiki-2.x source folder. In the "examples" directory you'll find a new project called "bbs-server". Enter that directory, (on a Unix/Linux system with cc65 properly installed) type "make TARGET=c64" and enjoy. You may also want to start the program directly from the included "examples/bbs-server/ctkbbs.d64" image. There is a program called "bbs-setup" on that disk, use it to set up your bbs, the IP configuration etc.
new version out now 
Changes in this version (Contiki BBS 0.2.1):* simple user management (user db) in the setup program (add new users)
* simple login procedure, checking for valid username / password via user db.
* new commands for listing board information: "/blist" (board list), "/binfo" (info on current board).
* "abort" command in message edit mode (type "/abt" on empty line during message edit)
* simple message index, messages now are now written chronologically. Once the message base is full, it starts all over again with message #1.
* session idle timeout counter is now a seperate process, thus login is now also affected by timeout (60 secs.)
* dozens of bugfixes (and probably new bugs added
)Test, comment, enjoy!
... still alive,
lodger

File comment: Contiki BBS 0.2.1 by N. Haedecke - a simple yet working, telnet enabled BBS for the Commodore 64 based on Contiki OS (c) 2003 by Adam Dunkels. Inspired by the people @ http://www.retrohackers.com Just for your information: I've just replaced version 0.2 with version 0.2.1 which fixes some bugs, makes the timeout counter work during login, the boards now "round-rob" (if max. # of messages is reached, the board starts again with kessage #1) and there's now 6 lines with 40 characters per line for each message. No new features, but now the program works a little better now. Also, I've saved some blocks on the disk by not using a SEQ file for the user index file. It's now a REL file.

as for the usability, I'll make your suggestions / bug reports a new topic for the next version. Christmas holidays are getting closer and that means: coding time is getting closer.
