| Darkterm emulated likes the 'bye' file. The main file of the BBS emulated bombs out on it. |
Below you will find links to a D64 image file, text documentation, and the four essential files of the BBS program that can be downloaded individually (which are also on the .D64 image file). Grab the D64 file and docs, or grab the 4 PRG files and docs.

You can tool around the BBS via commands, though viewing text files, such as message postings that are longer than one sector tend to lock up the program within the emulator. S-top, C-ontinue, and A-bort keys will help avoid this while perusing the BBS. Blame my mad CCS64 emulator skills (next to none).
Thankfully, the files seem to be readily accessible and viewable within Style's DirMaster which happily drags and drops the files in and out of the image. Darkterm, when run within the CCS64 emulator also happily displays the entirety of file content. Thus, you get the files, and I can leave it to some soul to trial it on a real 64 and let me know if the things I could not test actually work as intended (Transfers, modem/hook activity could not be tested in the emulator).

Read the fast or slow documentation for the full scoop, with the fast docs displayed first in the text file. The document is a manual the BBS never had.
The files are uploaded to Google Drive and are marked for public access. My other browser instance without a cookie seemed to get in fine, so do let me know if anything stops you. You of course need to permit the site to redirect you AND permit use of a secure connection. Click download on whatever you like to fetch. I suggest the D64 as the easiest solution, and then the txt document file since that is not part of the image.
The files... as image and ANSI/text docs. Sorry, no PET version of the docs. People would tire of my colorful, trademark first-letter-capitalized stylings that drove iBeaMers and people with speaking computers crazy.
The files.... as individual files of the program/image. These four files and maybe Darkterm are all you need to set up a By-Tor BBS. Grab the docs from the link above.
I would appreciate any input, especially corrections to anything that may be wrong within the program. Do not expect fast responses from me. I am not online daily.
Updated 23/05/2014 - fixed error in main file (line 90). "by-tor.prg" files have been updated (image&file)
