That's great to hear! I know someone in my fido area who does just that.
He may be a good candidate to test it with.

If you set your dosemu.cfg file so that video=none, you can then set
your dos conventional ram to 756K... the bbs will push your video for you
so you shouldn't have any issues. I do that on amateur radio packet with
my instance of MFNOS and even the author of the program is amazed at the
conventional memory left after it's loaded. I should have about 50K on a
standard DOS system but I actually have over 300K of conventional left.
You may find some games will run a bit smoother.
