  • Telegard 2.7 in Dosbox?

    From BBS ( /u/telmnstr https://www.reddit.com/user/telmnstr ) to All on Tue Apr 7 15:36:29 2026

    Attempting to run my old BBS (Multi-Media Maddness, 757/804) in Dosbox.
    First off, 2.7 does some kind of date check and fails on modern dates. I used 4dos to get a date utility and set the date back in the 90s and it works. Any known patches for this? Hex editing the binary maybe to NOP the date check?
    Second, anyone know where I might find a Telegard 2.5 zip package? Apparently the docs are in the 2.5 distro, 2.7 was just an upgrade. I keep landing on later versions (3.x.) Tried Google alternatives -- while better results still nada. Checked archive.org of course. The internet feels so much smaller than it did 7 years ago.
    I can log in locally with my password, but it ends in a System error 3. So hoping there is some kind of list of errors. submitted by /u/telmnstr [link] [comments]
