In all honesty, just access Terminal and SSH outbound. If you need to access a telnet based system, you shouldn't have any issues. I don't believe OS9 has the latest OpenSSL libraries so you may have issues with SSH.
if your term is utf-8 and the bbs doesn't detect it you can do this too:
telnet bbs.com | iconv -f cp437
... assuming you have iconv installed of course :)
that said i can almost guarantee there's a really nice OS9 term with zmodem and the works.. but it probably originally did (or does) cost money.. and it's probably so burried under modern mac stuff you'd never find it in google without knowing it's name.. lol
