Consider this scenario: you are stuck behind a merciless filter and BBS is your only coms with the outside world. Assuming you have Win10 and you can only use 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've heard BBSes are still popular in China for this reason (the Great Firewall of China and the filtering their government does)..
