You don't, unless you know of a way to interface a dialup modem to Dosbox. If they're telnet accessible, you could just as well use any native terminal emulator to access them instead of trying to kludge Dosbox into doing it.

For the BBS boards you see on Defacto2, you'll also need support for transmitting your packets 20-30 years back in time. Might need a patch, not sure.
