I was / am in the same boat you are.  :-)  The last time I ran a BBS was in
1990/91 in Orlando.  What are you using as the telnet server?  I'm NetFoss 1.0
and its Net2BBS telnet server.  Freeware and works very well.

The only issue that I've seen is that NetFoss is not a COM port emulator
(like,say, NetSerial) and any door that needs a COM port to work (Qmail,
MarkMail,Cam-Mail, etc.) doesn't work under my configuration.

If I spend the $25 for NetSerial (sysop price), then NetSerial provides the
COMport emulation and those doors and others will work (and you don't need
NetFossif you're using NetSerial).

I thought about paying the $25 and still might but the problem is that I have
MarkMail and Qmail both registered already (and found my KEY files for them)
but not Cam-Gold (and I really want to get the Cam-Blue - Bluewave - door
working on my BBS.  BlueWave 4.01 is giving me grief.  :-)

Are you just using the internal routines for QWK packets for the time being?
