They all work fine, there are some using Miami and some using Genesis, I took the easy way out with my BBS and am using AmiTCP with TelnetD using the bsd.socket of WinUAE.. As for connetions, TelnetD handles it all, it answers sets up the port that is accepting calls and answers like a modem would.. HOpe that helps a bit...
