Anyone have experience setting up and running a DOS based BBS through telnet?
I have my 486 DOS box with a 16-bit ISA Netgear ethernet card hooked up to my router. I'd like to run a PCBoard telnet BBS on it...but I"m not sure how.
I only have Win 3.1 on that computer...I'd rather not have to upgrade to Win 95 and use Netfossil or something of the like. I'm sort of fuzzy on the process and details of setting everything up and making it work together.
I've googled around, but there's lots of different information, and though my 13 year old self would probably get it back in the day when it was current, my current self is having a little trouble focusing on it.
Can anyone guide me through a step by step and tell me exactly what I need?
Cheers!
