You'll need a serial card if you don't already have one... The Super
Serial Card is probably the most common and can still be had at a
reasonable price.
Lantronix makes a number of devices that can translate serial to tcp. The
UDS or MSS series are probably what you'd want. They can be a bit pricey
though.
You can also set up a windows or *nix computer to act as a gateway.
What are the BBS software available for Apple II ?

METAL / Future Vision is the most powerful language and package,
followed by MACOS / PEPSI then ACOS / GBBS Pro. There was also LLUCE
that sold something like 3-4 copies. But honestly METAL/Future Vision
is your best bet as it is free and the best.
