Gotcha, that's cool. I've been toying with the idea of writing a simple BBS frontend to handle all inbound connections and then route them appropriately. My motivation for this is that I like using Daydream which doesn't really have SSH support unless I want people using my actual BBS user :P thought process was that it could listen on the appropriate port, accept any un/pw, and internally route the connection via telnet to the traditional BBS. The benefit here would be that hypothetically you could pass credentials directly to the BBS, and you could do some cool frontend-y type stuff (bot blockers, ip range blocks, custom logging, etc).

I was wondering if you'd done something like that ... well, more like was hoping lol.
