I interviewed Rob Sherman the gent behind Southernamis and other Atari BBS's on my podcast a few months ago. He's running emulated Atari 8-bit systems in AWS for these BBS's. Rob also has written some articles on telnet-access retro BBS's in the newly revived Compute's Gazette magazine.
Visiting BBS's that run on actual or emulated hardware can be a nice trip down memory lane for those who were part of the 8-bit BBS community in times past.
For those who still have original hardware, FujiNet is a great way to get it online. Just plugs right into the SIO port and it doesn’t need any external power.

If Amiga is more your style, there is a wonderfully maintained Amiga-hosted BBS at absinthebbs.net.
