Out of fascination I was scouring DuckDuckGo and random articles to find some modern software to connect to BBS's and came across SyncTERM Web Service on GitHub, which runs the SyncTERM terminal program in a full screen web browser.
I'm going to give it a go later today! Figured I'd share it here for anyone who wants to play around with it.
Play it vanilla bare bones first time! Do all the side quests to your hearts content and enjoy the game!
