This is easily my favourite feature of modern boards, it's so great to have such an easy option to go out and sample other boards, I've found most of my fav's this way

FWIW, to achieve this in enigma, you'd just do the following:
1) Create a new menu.hjson entry for your board selections, using the 'telnet-bridge' built in mod.
2) Point to it in your existing logoff menu flow

mod docs here: https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/docs/_docs/modding/telnet-bridge.md

When I installed Mystic, I also installed enigma because ... well, why not? I'm really happy to see that we have a community for that here as well.

Is Enigma still under development?

... How do I set my laser printer to stun?

Yep. Just pushed some changes last night, actually. Trying to finish up the ActivityPub integration enough for 'prime time'. A native DOS emulator is being worked on (so you can run DOS doors directly from enig), etc.

You just piqued my interest!

A native DOS emulator, eh? I wonder the speed and compatibility. Are you using js-dos? I'd be curious to see if it's possible to use this as a standalone module for other BBSes, since DOS doors are a common pain point.

dosemu2 is good but not perfect - some games are still wonky. Lore is one. LORD 2 is another. dosemu2 also seems to get stuck running nightly maintenance at times and I have to manually un-stuck it.

I wonder...how capable is js-dos or whatever it is you're using? There are some old DOS BBS packages that would be cool to run in something like this. Think iniquity or OBV/2 or even something like MajorBBS or TBBS.

Sorry for the off topic post :P

I was just watching Back To The BBS again, and watched over sime of yiur interview.

Is there a current good write up if where things stand today?

... If at first you don't succeed, blame your parents!

The GitHub project is probably the best spot. A lot of things are documented, though there are still holes. Discord is another:
