subject: BT over telnet

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 :-),
