I tested DOSBOX - and do like it, however had problems with the
telnet/modem emulation.  It echos all characters typed on my system. 
Basically, double characters for every keystroke.  I even used the INIT
string to turn that off, but it still does it.  Interesting enough, when I
am in my BBS full screen editor, it doesn't do it.  Only on the BBS itself.
 

The other issue with the telnet/modem emulation in DOSBOX is there is no
telnet server to push the inbound tcp/23 to the various BBS instances.  I'm
a bit limited since my system needs real com ports, not fossil aware.

The only emulators that work great are NetSerial and the OS/2 SIO/VMODEM drivers.

Maybe down the road if DOSBOX's telnet emulation matures, I'll be able to
use that as an option.
