Getting MS-DOS doors working with Linux, dosemu2, and Synchronet was a challenge for me. So when I finally got it working, I put my notes together. Hopefully it helps someone. #bbsdoors #synchronet www.bbswordle.com/dosemu2.html @kirkman.bsky.social @hypernode.bsky.social @a-net-online.bsky.social

So. Apparently Synchronet still exists and supports weird protocols like Hotline and IRC. Seems like a one stop shop for running an old internet.

last night I tried turning up Mystic BBS and Synchronet on ReactOS x86 0.4.16 (nightly)
mystic doesn't want to pipe the telnet clients over to the cmd process it spawns
synchronet expects inet_ntop in winsock2
has anyone ever had a success story with ReactOS?

I tinkered a bit with synchronet two decades ago, that might be a decent stepping stone if you don't get any better tips.
