> some decent software for BBSing on XP? Even via serial would be fine,

Have you tried good ol' Telix or Telemate? I don't remember if they run well under XP or not, but it's worth a shot. Windows terminals mostly suck, but I remember liking SecureCRT. Putty is ok. With both of those you'd have to configure specifically with Terminal font and CP437 encoding, because those aren't the defaults.

I'm going to see if I have the archives for Telix and Telemate here still (I'm using Telix right now) and make sure they're on my board.
