I've been wanting to play The Pit (bbs door game) on a telnet BBS..
But I find the graphics play up on telnet BBS's (I can only get it to
work offline with dosbox)

Does anyone know a BBS where it works and the best telnet program to
use (where the graphics are true to a 90s BBS).. I've tried telnet and
putty.

SyncTerm is hard to beat.  Just make sure you set the connection speed
to 14.4 baud or slower, or you won't know what's going on in The Pit.

Wildcat's Castle is a good one.  telnet://bbs.wildcatcastle.com

Seriously, thank you.  I feel so at home on a Wildcat BBS.

I went a little nuts and used [DOSBox SVN
Daum](http://ykhwong.x-y.net/), configured it to use a Direct3D shader
that simulates a CRT (included with the package), configured com1 as
"modem," dropped in my favorite comm package from yesteryear, and
connect to BBSes that way. When you have it set up, you can do ATDT
[server] to connect to a telnet BBS. Seems to play well with any BBS
I've thrown at it and the result is that I have nostalgia cranked up
to 11.
