BTXE has been answering the "phone" on my Telnet node for a very
long time.  I did at one point tinker with mailer sessions over telnet, but
always ended up sticking with BinkD (much more widely used, and more
efficient also!)

As far as a telnet user is concerned, they just have to hit ESC and wait a
few seconds for the BBS, just like with the old POTS lines.
