    If Spitfire BBS can be telnet accessible, I'm sure TAG can :) SF is not fossil
    aware and it has a date bug that hit on 1-1-2025. I got it working with Linux win7 VM > Spitfire using NetSerial.

    I still have my old GT Power board running. It is not telnet aware but I
    was able to get it working under linux > haproxy > DOSBox-X.

    Before that, it was working under linux > haproxy > tty0tty > tcpser >
    dosemu. Actually, one node still runs using that. ;)

    GT Power is real picky about the serial port and will barf on other
    emulators because they are not "hardware like" enough. It is also not
    fossil aware but will usually work with one. If it will run and
    be telnet aware, I figure just about any DOS BBS software ought to work.

    I still have my old Atari 8bit BBS running that first went online in 1984. It went online on the internet in 1999 running on a PC using the Altirra Atari 8bit emulator.

    It is also accessible thru a phone line (thanks to Rob's Sexpots) although it is VOIP and may be a bit flaky.
