I would like to do the above with windows, if possible. My BBS software
doesn't support SSH but this seems like it would make it possible. At the
very worst, I could run a linux vm to do the work of that, then the bbs in a windows vm. Ioram Sette did this with EleBBS/Linux, and I'm running EleBBS/Win32 (2013 Binaries, Windows 7 Pro/32bit SP1) in a VM (Under Windows
10 Pro/x64), but I've been unable to contact his bbs (ssh://bsbbs.bbs.br) (he also has ftelnet setup to connect to his ssh port) to ask how and get some ideas for win32 usage. I'm sure other BBS sysops not running SSH capable BBS' would like to know how to do this as well. As another way, if I could set up
a proxy server on my windows server (it seems possible, but I haven't seen
any decent descriptions, other than setting up an existing server) and use ftelnet from the local server, keeping all unencrypted traffic local.

Thanks, ideas would be welcome!

Remember, a true BBS is one run on your computer. Not on a cloud, server or website. If its hard setting up and getting it to work, that is the design of it. It is not supposed to be easy. It should be something different also. Not what everyone else is doing. Find that classic BBS software that very few people are running and make it work!

Yeah, that was a typo. I'm using bsbbs.com.br. It's down until he gets back from the UK.

This is run from my home computer. It is up and working and was hard to get that way. Now I'd like to do what Ioram is doing and have an ssh option with
a default login and password (he uses bbs/bbs) then force the actual bbs software to handle the rest of the autentication. The web site is also ran
off of my home computer, not an external server. The telnet server is run
from my home computer as well. Everything is. I wouldn't consider it a
legit bbs if someone else was hosting it.
