I'm telnet'ed into my Mystic board right now using Telix & dosbox-x (thanks to AKAcastor for helping me get dosbox-x going!).

You just need to install dosbox and set one of the serial ports in the config file to modem (e.g:  serial1=modem) and then set Telix to use the COM port you configured as a modem (serial1 = com1) and you're good to go.

In Telix you can type atdt bbs.agency.nz and it'll dial right out.

You can also use the "phonebook" feature with dosbox-x where you can map fake phone numbers to telnet addresses, e.g:

5551212 agency.bbs.nz
5552323 bbs.erb.pw
5553434 20forbeers.com:1337

Then you can add those phone numbers to Telix's dialing directory, e.g call 5551212 to connect to Agency BBS.
