   It's a Windows XP system w/SP2. Actually I was disapointed that it 
  wouldn't work with the telnet prefix. At the GoDaddy site when I enter
  the IP address with the telnet the site returns that a telnet is invalid.
  That's not a verbatum quote but pretty much the jist of it. But when you
  put an HTTP prefix on the IP address it works. I won't rule out operator
  error on my part but as it was I did what I had to do to get it to work.

   I run simple server on one machine and run my HTML script on it and direct
  incomming HTML calls to that computer with the router firewall. In the 
  script is an href command that when clicked on calls the telnet address to
  the computer the BBS is running on. It may be the long way around the barn
  but it's all I knew to do. I am in now way ready to take on the 32 bit side 
  of Synchronet.

   Anyhow thats what I'm doing and why.
