So, let's see what is possible. Using FD term in DOSBox gets me disconnected on most Telnet BBSs because they 'detect a port scanner', which I'm certainly not using. In a BBS that doesn't use such a
detection, I can move around as I used to, but there's no way to get anything via ZModem. The ZModem transfer screen pops up, but it's
unable to transfer a single block. There was no other protocol choice,
so I don't yet know whether this is only ZModem specific. Has anyone
more experience? Anyone know a bunch of good Telnet BBSs that are not
so picky? Anyone know a setting in DOSBox/DOS (env. variable??) that might hold off ZModem from working?
machines, kept screen line #25 free for payload and had a mostly error-free interpretation of AVATAR codes.
Ward now brought me
back into Fido, and I'm (slowly.. very slowly) going towards
using a classical POTS EMSI mailer via Telnet. Specifically, in a
DOSBox.
JoHo seems to work on the same thing, but I'm not so sure whether
or not this means FD is in development again.

you can give my system a try... i do have IDS/IPS monitoring so you may be blocked if your setup does initiate several connection attempts at once... while we're talking about frontdoor and file transfers in the terminal, the problam may very well be on the BBS side with whatever zmodem engine they are using... IIRC, my BBS offers more than one zmodem implementation... see how one works and change to another if needed...

Hmmm ... which part did I miss? I worked closely with Stanislav to get this stuff properly implemented, but maybe I forgot something?
Actually, it does mean that. There's a lot of stuff to port, before I can begin adding features. But that time will come.
Have you tried Janis Kracht's system(s)? Or Mark Lewis?
Have you tried other FOSSILs?

Aw, I really don't remember fully.
But we were excessively doing ANSIs, converted them to .AVTs, and
what I remember is that it got it better than Terminate and other
AVT capable terminals.
No need to hurry, I think.
Regarding FD Term, I can only think of one thing anyway, and that
is... running it without a config. FD TERM 1 should do. :-D
