    Not natively. But it can do telnet just fine with help from the OS. My BBS is available via telnet and the Web.

    You can try the Web connection at https://outpostbbs.net/connect.html.

    I logged in and it works fine. I allow access to my current board the same way but it had to connect to a port of some kind. How do you achieve this?

    Hi Mick,

    I use fTelnet. fTelnet connects to my system via a telnet proxy server on port 10323. Look at ftelnet.ca.

    If you're talking about how I do it under ArcaOS, I use SIO and VMODEM.

    If you wind up using fTelnet, I recommend using one of Rick's proxies and
    using the fTelnet configuration creator on his website.

    I second this. I was able to have a working connection to my MBSE BBS within a few minutes. My OS/2 BBS will take slightly longer, because I need to have Rick open the port it uses.
