Those are interesting choices.
My dsl provider blocked the use of port 22 for ssh telnet a year or so
back.
fortunately shellworld uses a different port number for ssh telnet, and my
own ms dos ssh telnet client meets with no authentication issues coming
here.
i still intend exploring what ssh telnet is incorporated in the DOS djgpp
project for authentication, some of it is tied to openssh dropping some
forms of dh keys.
The freedos list referenced a stand alone edition of links, which likely
also surpasses the authentication issue as it is described as being for
modern DOS users.
Still, I admire your dedication.
I presently run ms dos 7.1 on a p3 with close to a gig of memory, but my
computers are custom built for me.

You have free usage of Lynx and Links, if you pay a small charge, you con
configure your home account and adds a lot of Unix programs like Mutt, Alpine
and SLRN.
The only problem is that there are no modern SSH program for MS-DOS that can
access it (authentication problems).
You can still log to sdf.org using MS-DOS by Telnet. I regularly do it with a
80286 with a 720 KBy floppy running MS-DOS 2.11
Another free limited shell with Lynx. Links and eLinks is
lynx.scramworks.net.

I wonder how long shellworld has to live. I completely failed to find
any current marketing page for it, and people have said, here, that they
have failed to get accounts created.
The Wayback Machine suggests that it hasn't been marketed for over ten
years, although it does seem to have been intended as a blind users'
system, rather than a power users' one. The last page captured that
wasn't empty or invalid seems to be October 2007, and it was blank by
December that year.
I assume they are not taking on new users and will close when the number
remaining drops sufficiently.
