I've had Telix and Bluewave running under DOSBox on Win64 and Magic DOSBox on
Android.  However, there seems to be an issue in the virtual modem that affects
uploads only, corrupting them. :(

I'm currently experimenting with qemu, to run my old RA setup on a modern OS
(Linux), and I'm using tty0tty and tcpser to enable telnet capability.  It's
early days, and eventually, I hope to get my OS/2 and NT4 environments (it's a
triple boot system) running under qemu too.
