    it seems Hermes bbs doesnt run in mac silicon or even intel mac. But if I
    had an intel mac perhaps I would have been able to
    use rosetta for the ppc?

    Maybe, but PPC support/Rosetta was removed from MacOS years ago.

    Hermes is a clone of WWIV, which is for Intel. I haven't checked if the Linux version will run on MacOS, but I'm personally running it in a Linux VM on MacOS.

    I think they mean the newer Rosetta which lets Intel Mac software run on Apple's newer M-based Macs.
