Mgetty exsists in FreeBSD, so should be available for other *BSD flavours, if 
I stop reading this and other echoes, and apply myself to the task at hand, 
ie. installing Debian 3.0r0 onto my recently built and tested 
AMD486DX4-100-48Meg. RAM-1.5Gig HDD, I can "upgade my MBSE BBS system from a 
cramped 630Meg HDD on a 486DX2-66-32Meg RAM, I will then have a system to put 
FreeBSD 4.7 on.

IRCD might also be a solution.
