You probably can find it in the documentation of your BBS software
Something like
https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet#see_also
or
https://nuskooler.github.io/enigma-bbs/messageareas/ftn.html

Also you can use FTN networks without a BBS, just set up a mailer +
tosser + editor (smth like https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/ ) + etc.
