I think there's a BBS package available somewhere (maybe even in the
ports?), but don't ask me for the name.  I've never used it.

You can also create custom menues fairly easy with -ldialog.  We've
done this for a menu-driven shell that is running on a modem server
for one of our customers.  The program in question also includes
Z-Modem uploads and downloads (via sz/rz).
