BBS "Proxy" ?
One of the nice parts about it is it's open source :) It looks like it is (mostly) a raw TCP connection - take a look at https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/core/telnet_bridge.js, which uses the net module from node.js. As far as I can see, this looks like raw TCP rather than actually telnet. The one thing that the telnet_bridge.js code does do is look for a request for term type and can respond with that, though that looks like that would be easy to comment out or make into an option if that were a problem.
