That's something we may or may not do. While I have read about it, generally one of the advantages of telneting into a BBS is to take advantage of the higher speeds. Plus I actually think there may be a setting buried in the BBS configuration that can limit the data rate over telnet. I've never actually played with "slowing down" a telnet connection in MajorBBS that way. But it's got hundreds if not a couple thousand various configuration options for just about every aspect of the BBS.

One thing I was thinking was that there is a (device/software app?) that makes a telnet connection limited to "Modem" speeds. Not sure if that's something I would implement, but am considering it, to keep the "Feel" of dialup BBSing.
Yes! Do that
You should be able to mod tcpser to do that. Source is online
