Hello Sean,

 SD> This message is probably more for the OS/2 sysops...

 SD> I'm thinking about using BT to "answer the phone" on my telnet ports.
 SD> I'm writing a "matrix logon" front-end for my BBS and want to use BT
 SD> to answer the port for me so the logon door can pick up and then pass
 SD> the hot connection to Maximus.  While I've been tinkering with this,
 SD> the thought occured to me that my system might be "crashable" via
 SD> telnet.  Does anyone know about this and can this be done properly?

Bob Jones at Top Hat BBS 1:343/41 has been running like that for quite a few 
years. He polled me when I was running MBSE just to see if it would work and it 
seemed to. I'm sure he'd be glad to help.

ATM, I have BBBS answering telnet on port 23 (and binkd on 24555). I'm not sure 
how long that BBBS is going to be there but at the moment it is running 
1:153/758 and 618:400/10, feel free to poll if you like and we'll see what 
happens.. :)

 Ttyl :-),

.... Put on your seatbelt - I'm gonna try something new!
