  Hi everyone!  
    
  IÇÇÇve searched far and wideÇÇÇGoogle includedÇÇÇbut detailed info on this  
  topic seems scarce. So, if youÇÇÇre considering suggesting ÇÇÇjust Google  
  it,ÇÇÇ letÇÇÇs skip that part. ÇÇÇÇ Instead, if you know of any websites,  
  guides, or resources that explain how to run the software IÇÇÇm working  
  with, IÇÇÇd be incredibly grateful if you could share them.  
    
  HereÇÇÇs what IÇÇÇve got up and running so far:  
    
       US Robotics 56K Fax External Modem: Currently figuring out how to  
  passthrough the COM port.  
       DOSEMU2: Fully operational on Ubuntu 24, running on a VM.  
       Renegade (DOS version): Successfully launches as a door from Mystic  
  BBS and works perfectly.  
    
  Now, hereÇÇÇs what IÇÇÇd like to achieve:  
    
       Telnet: Mystic seems to have this covered for now.  
       FrontDoor 2.20 ML: IÇÇÇve heard thereÇÇÇs a Telnet/BinkP-compatible  
  version. Any thoughts or guidance on this?  
       Fastecho, Allfix, or Internet Rex: IÇÇÇm planning to set these up as  
  part of the workflow.  
       Ideally, Mystic would pass control of both Telnet and the modem  
  (currently virtual) to FrontDoor. The idea is that FrontDoor would  
  handle dial-up users and, just like in the old days, distinguish between  
  a human caller (who gets passed to the BBS) and a mail call.  
    
  This whole "dial-in access" project is really just a passion project for  
  me. ItÇÇÇs a challenge IÇÇÇve set for myself, and while IÇÇÇm not expecting  
  anyone to actually call in, IÇÇÇm hoping to replicate the experience using  
  VoIP to mimic PSTN lines. ItÇÇÇs a bit of a nostalgic dream, but one IÇÇÇm  
  determined to make happen.  
    
  HereÇÇÇs where I need help:  
    
       IÇÇÇve started working through FrontDoorÇÇÇs setupÇÇÇpaths,  
  configurations, etc.ÇÇÇand IÇÇÇll tackle Fastecho, Allfix, or IREX next.  
  However, IÇÇÇm unsure how to handle outgoing mail via BinkP, so user mail  
  flows seamlessly over Telnet. Any advice on that?  
       Is this even worth all the effort? IÇÇÇm having fun with it, but IÇÇÇd  
  love to hear if anyone else has walked this path or has insights to share.  
    
  If youÇÇÇve done something similar or have suggestions, IÇÇÇd love to hear  
  from you. This project is a labor of love, and every bit of advice  
  helps. LetÇÇÇs bring some retro magic back to life!  
    
  Hasta la vista, baby!
