I am not sure if it will help but take a look at BBS Server v1.4, It will
answer any Telnet calls and transfer them to a Com Port via a Null Modem
cable. I use it on 2 Commodore BBS' I run, it doesn't allow for more then 1
node though.. The only outlay of money is buying a null modem cable or the
supplies to build one. Either way if you are only looking for 1 node the
outlay is less then $10...

Hope that helps a little...
