well the shareing of user access permissions would be a stumbleing block.
vadv-php reads the bbs's userfile.dat file to grant access rights.
but it could probably be made to read and write to a "Jam"
"hudson"
"squish" or "msg" database.
vadv is one of those bbs's that uses its own style of db.
It did not grow up with fidonet support it has a native networking
more like(clone) of WWIVnet networking.
