What type of retro hardware could that be? Sorry, I'm just trying to learn here and I can't find anywhere online that tells of such things.

The BBS is connected to a switch connected to a router connected to the internet. So what hardware/software would allow passage of TCP thru all of that without using telnet via TCPIP.

Thanks,
