It's actually a bit harder than it may appear. If you're gonna run a BBS on
your C128 you need a User Port  RS-232-adapter, and that
RS-232-adapter will vary depending on which BBS package you want to use.
Some packages works with more generally available adapters such as the
VIC-1011A, and others only work with the Swiftlink adapter which is very
hard to come by and when it's on sale it goes for silly money. 

If you just want to connect other BBS:es from your C128, almost any User
Port  RS-232-adapter will do, or one of these Wifi-modems that
connect to the user port and then your wifi at home and acts as a
hayes-compatible modem for the C128.
