If you would like more networking features and long file name support, then look at Free DOS. That way, when redirecting ports from the virtual machine COM1 = COM1 and LPT1 = LPT1 on the host etc. This would allow for redirection over to USB or to IP for disk drives and printing. You may also need to set up virtual serial and parallel ports on the host PC (there are both free and paid for software to achieve this). If you have a copy of the original DOS operating system, I would install that in the virtual machine. Virtualisation on a single PC would be a way to go if only one single user needs access to that program and you can trust them not to tinker. Worldgroup is meant to be used as a professional system and carries with it a professional price tag.I think it depends on what the program is and what you are trying to achieve. Web based users can use a browser plug-in to get enhanced graphics. Originally designed as a multi-threaded MS-DOS system, Worldgroup now runs on Windows platforms. Dial-up users can access with standard ANSI/RIP software or a free Windows based GUI client. Worldgroup is probably the most popular pay-based BBS and is one of the most common among Telnettable BBSes. Worldgroup is an ANSI/RIP based Dial-Up and Telnettable BBS, a Web Server, and an Internet Service Provider all in one package. Worldgroup is again available (and supported) for the Sysop community at Worldgroupware. Netvillage had stopped selling and supporting Worldgroup a couple of years later. Its maker, Galacticomm, was sold in 1998 to Netvillage. Originally called The Major BBS, Worldgroup is probably the most successfully made and commercially sold BBS software. Operating System: Windows (Worldgroup), DOS (MajorBBS)
