That does sound very cool. I created a DOS BBS environment in DOSBOX
with MTCP, Telix, Multimail, Qedit and all of my old DOS utils like
Xtree. File transfers were always a problem unless I slowed the connect
speed down to 38400.

(DOSBOX has a virtual comm port where you can emulate a COMX: port in DOS
redirecting to a TCP port. Redirect COM1: to TCP 23, and send an ATDT
command with the name/IP of the BBS, and it connects. Works great for
telnet sessions, not so much for file transfers)

I used MTCP in DOSBOX with their tools, and it was solid.
