    Consider this scenario: you are stuck behind a merciless filter and BBS is y only coms with the outside world. Assuming you have Win10 and you can only u non-http services/ports like telnet and ftp, what software would you have to have? Could you do everything you need to do this way?

    Think of it like a desert island scenario, or as if you got suddenly transported to the early 90s (with a Win10 laptop). What software, bare minimum, do you have to have to survive?

    I pose the question this way to get some input on the best tools as I am getting familiar with this scene after being gone 26 years.

    I like this SyncTERM I am using on my windows 10 pc.

    I used FTP to send a REP packet I made with MultiMail DOS and FTP to get a QWK packet to read new mail from this BBS when my XPbox had DSL.

    Used a BATch file to start a FRP script for either way..

    Just thought I would open my big mouth about what I have done on XP ( notWin10) Ed
