Why? Does your BBS need this?

I never had any Raspberrys Linuxes but most Linux distributions know
"service", or when they have systemd also "systemctrl".

Try something like

service tcpser enable

as root. That might take care of having it started on each boot from then
on.

The name might be different to tcpser thought. Have a look into
/etc/init.d/ for possible candidates.

ls /etc/init.d/
