I have recently started using DOS more, dusting off my old 486's and getting
them fixed up and working.  All that is left, is to locate the case of the XT
(if I haven't lost it in one of my moves) and use a BBS from that.  I did have
Linux on one of those machines, but I nuked it, as there really isn't much
point in running an old Linux distro just to have.  But DOS, yes, there is a
reason.

I might look at adding ZModem support the mTCP's Telnet.
