You'll generally need a domain name for your BBS or some way to refer
to your BBS by a domain name and then configure DNS with an AAAA record.


ipv6                    IN      AAAA            2604:880:52:866:f1d0:1:124:5016
endofthelinebbs.com.    IN      AAAA            2604:880:52:866:f1d0:1:124:5016
bbs                     IN      AAAA            2604:880:52:866:f1d0:1:124:5016

I have several ipv6 hostnames setup.

You'll also need your provider to allow you to setup a f1d0:: address,
usually through a control panel, many will give you a /48 or /64 which
can both be used.
