Hi Sean,

I'm not sure I can help you, Sean... but here is some information about how I have it installed here.

Path to bterm program:
            /home/bbbs/term/bterm
(good distance from main bbbs install <G>)

Command to start bterm in that directory:
           /home/bbbs/term/bterm$ ./btelnet

I've seen some folks talk about starting a virtural box to run linux software on an Apple.. perhaps that might work?  I have never tried that though.

Take care,
Janis
