Well, as I made a short video on Vine telling ppl about it (who
know nothing of BBS - one thought perhaps it had something to do
with the Deep Web and Tor Browser. ... and, in a sense, very
loosely so. I gave him credit for trying - oh wait - train of
thought, yes:
I told them I was helping a friend Time Travel 20-25 years into
the past and I was bringing the impossible past into the
present.
Also, I successfully migrated the BBS setup into a DOSBox now
running under a Win98 within VMware... so... CONCEPT PROVED:
Web page --> Telnet through proxy server (fTelnet - and he does
the SOCKS proxies too) --> Win7 --> Win98 within VMWare --> IP
translated to Hayes Modem via DOSBox --> Pyroto Mountain.
Swap out any BBS for Pyroto Mountain and it works!
There's the speed issue but that's resolvable. Simply having the
process working at all is very satisfying. Biggest credit goes
to DOSBox..because all other methods for doing a Hayes modem
emulation were failures, but DOSBox wins.
