I'm using Dosbox-staging over telnet. I wanted to use Dosbox-X because it has paste but the telnet connections are much slower & have line noise.
Dosbox-staging has the phonebook (as does Dosbox-x) so I've mapped 5551212 to go to my BBS and a few other fake phone numbers to dial others in the Telix dialing directory so I don't have to manually type in atdt agency.bbs.nz
Downloads always work but uploads are hit & miss. Sometimes I just fire up Icy Term and upload it that way. I don't really intend to fully use offline mail, but it's a nostalgia trip for sure.
I really like using Telix, it's pretty quick and responsive. I have a patch that takes away the nag screens but it still says "Unregistered" in the bottom left of the screen.
