The Major BBS Forums

Are you opening the CNF editor that shows all the types of settings at once? If so, it won't work. Make sure it is ONLY opening the security and accounting settings. I forget the exact command line for that, but there should be a Security & Accounting shortcut under The Major BBS. If yours didn't ...

There are also linked forums. You have to add them yourself and add the echo addresses. See this forum post for more details:

Are you telnetting into the BBS from the same computer DOSBox-x is running on? Or completely externally? Perhaps your firewall is blocking port 23.

Also--is there a reason you're using 6.25 instead of MBBS10?

I had this working with DOSBox-x at one time. I'll have to see if I still have my setup saved somewhere so I can see how I did it.
