UNaXcess works on the 16/6000s.  I ran it on my machine for about 9 months.
It has a few quirks I didn't like, that probably could be patched.  I looked
at the XBBS but there are a lot of System V things that need to be changed to
run on the 16's System III derived Xenix.  It depends on what you need/expect
of a system - and I found after running a TBBS in a Z80 environment for years
that I didn't like the UA.  If you start getting many messages on it, and
delete lower numbered messages it gets slow.  
Brandon Alberry - moderator of one of the comp.sources groups here is the
author.  He could answer more questions.  As for me - I became a usenet node.
