So, FreeDOS 1.2 has been released, and I am really loving it! I have it installed in a VM. Surprisingly, I was able to TELNET into KK4QBN's BBS in FreeDOS with the help of a couple of Linux utilities (dd, mkfs, mount). I, also, was able to get FreeBASIC on there as well so I can develop using BASIC.
Here is a screenshot of me trying to write this message in FreeDOS, mTCP's TELNET:
