It's easy under Linux. Over here, my modem is owned by bbbs:dialout with proper 
permissions.  For Alan's question, it was a matter of using this line for BBBS 
since he is not using a modem :)

    ./bbbs 2 2 TCPIP
for node 2, for example.

No, but it is for BBBS users or those who want to learn about bbbs... So if you 
want to learn how to use bbbs, stick around <g>

Take care,
Janis
