I have thought of another solution. If the
console port is 1052 instead of the
normal 3270, I can put code into
Hercules to make it bypass the telnet
negotiation, so that I can add
straightforward serial ports to Hercules.

One of those serial ports can be a modem,
and I can get PDOS/386 to emulate a
modem.

Then I can write BBS software on the
mainframe (PDOS/3x0 or MVS).

BTW, modifications to HERCULES in the
hope that other forks will adopt them too
(or do them first so that I can copy them)
is definitely on-topic in the HERCULES
group.
