I want to telnet to things but have the connection feel slow, as if
I were dialing on an old modem. Eg it would be nice to be able to
simulate 300, 2400, 9600, etc, speeds.
Does anything like this exist? I'm normally using macOS or Linux as
my telnet client, so I'm ideally looking for something that runs on
those.
I have always kept my menus at minimum ANSI since the dial-up days. I log into other BBS' and it takes so long waiting for those pretty 120+ lines of animated ANSI screens to scroll by (because most of the time ESC or SPACE fails to stop them from continuing). The only time I see a slowness in my screen render times is when I'm getting those 23/2323 TELNET attacks over and over until my new Firewall blocks them (I brought it down to 3
Howdy folks,
This might be a silly question, but I figured if anyone might know,
it could be this group here. :-)

My internet searching didn't come up with anything, except "rate
limiting" telnet connections, which is not really what I want to do.

As many have pointed out, Syncterm should allow you to do this. That
said, finding a retro board running retro software and possibly retro hardware may also do the trick.

The DarkForce! BBS (mine) is also listed on there. Yep, a fine example
of blatant and unrepentant self-advertisement if I ever saw one... :)
I plugged one of my boards in a previous message on this topic, so no
hate here. :)

If you are using a MAC, then you could use MuffinTerm. It enables you
to simulate those slow speeds.
