I just found this interesting #Perl script which acts as kind of a #telnet #gateway, accepting incomig telnet connections and then starting #dosbox with your preferred #bbs #software (e.g. #Telegard) so that you can run and access old #DOS #bbs #programs via your #Linux host:

Lots of nostalgia in this Telegard BBS set up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owp1afzftaQ

I ran a Telegard BBS for a number of years and was a Telegard/2 (OS/2) beta site.
