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.
