Any ideas on what program to use to connect to these bbs’s on a Mac?
The telnet lite program seems to be the only one easily available but
the ANSI colors aren’t coming out right.  Anyone else using a Mac?  If
so, what are you using?

have you tried opening up a shell and typing telnet?

Looks good!  Although...Correct me if I'm wrong, but do I remember
being able to edit the keyboard buttons?  For example, I played a lot
of Crossroads and Mutants.  I think I remember changing the up arrow
to "n" to go north, and "s" for south, etc... any ideas?

+1 for syncterm. Nice UI and has good terminal emulation.

Doesn't look like it has that unfortunately.

Yeah, i tried that but according to google, it looks like that went
away after one of the last couple updates.

Install it again via Brew.

Maybe
https://github.com/jquast/telnetlib3

It's python 3 code and apparently has a basic telnet client. No idea
about color handling.

Also,
