I'm trying to avoid having to use Windoze. Apparently it may be possible to add TCP/IP ability to DOS, I'm looking into that now.

nah, that's crazy. you dont want to run a server on dos.

Why not?

if you dont want to use WINDOWS, use linux. you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches.

I'm an advanced user of Linux. What do you mean, "use linux"? Using it as the incoming telnet server is easy, but what then? Run PCB in a DOS emulator on Linux? It might work, but doors and other external stuff
won't. I have thought about how I might use Linux for the telnet server, and then redirect the data out a serial port to the (DOS) computer running PCB, but haven't got a good idea how to do that. Do you?

I think that you spending a lot of time spinning your wheels and wasting a log of time when there are bbs system out there that is designed to run under Linux.

LOL. Nice reply to a fucking post that is a *YEAR* *AND* *A* *HALF*
old... Jesus.

If I wanted to run a BBS under Linux, I would. What I wanted (past
tense) to do was run *PCBOARD* under DOS, as I stated.

Try some reading comprehension classes at your local elementary school.

Well, let's see who's acting/writing like a "fucking child". Look at
your post above. Did you drop out of English grammar classes at about
the 3rd-grade level? It's "you're", not "your". After that, you request
that I "grow up and act like a adult fucking retard". Do you even
recognize how stupid that "sentence" sounds?

Now, let me re-quote my previous post that you replied to with such anger
(and failed to quote for context). What exactly about that post is not correct/accurate?

Again, you replied to me a YEAR and A HALF after the original question.
In my original question, I clearly stated that I wanted to run PCB under
DOS, and here you suggest that I just run some other bbs system under
Linux. How is that helpful in any manner to what I asked about?

I suggest (again) that you try to understand what is being discussed
before you go off half-cocked and make yourself look a fool (again).

If you can't do that, then just hush up.

and you are replying to the reply to the old post.

you reading comprehension is shit as well.
i told you the right way to do it and it went over your head.

and you failed miserably at getting pcboard running under dos when you could have done it in linux using dosemu
