I did the same, thing, and when I had a 4:3 monitor, it was great
running DOSBOX with a similar environment. I loaded Telix in DOSBOX for
a walk down memory lane.

Later, I got a 16:9 monitor and ran DOSBOX on the 4:3 monitor, now my
secondary. When I got rid of the 4:3 monitor, DOSBOX did a pretty good
job of filling the monitor.

Now that I have an ultra-wide monitor, DOSBOX doesn't look right in
full-screen and I end up running it in a window. Running 32-bit DOS apps
for my QWK reading with TSEPro ends up being much faster.

I should dig up the old Thinkpad T60 with a 4:3 screen that ran the BBS
for many years and make it into a retro DOS environment...
