its actually easier than many make it...

1. each has their own config files.
2. those configs share the same directories.
3. set the POTS node to HOLD * except those you POTS deliver
4. set the IP node to HOLD those you IP deliver to

having run binkleyterm briefly (about 2 months) years back, i can see that
there may be some problems due to the use of the file extensions to
determine what to do with the bundle... that's one of the main things i
like about FrontDoor... it doesn't care about the extensions 'cause
everything is set in the configs and it only looks at the destination
address in the netmail message containing the attach of the bundle...

this is also why using fileboxes for binkd works out better... i don't know
if binkleyterm does fileboxes or not but it doesn't really matter cause you
can set binkd to use one set of default outbound and binkleyterm to use
another... then its a simple matter of putting the outbound files in the
proper outbound for the proper deliver program you desire to use...
