From new information I have gleaned over the last few days, it would appear 
that using what is called a "dial-in" or "terminal" server, a telenet session 
is not needed.  One program called Terminal Server that I have read the docs 
on, apparently can be run after a front end mailer, so that it passes the hot 
com port to either a local PPP session or to your regular BBS 
software.......the registration price is a little more than my pocketbook 
could stand right now though. :(  There also seems to be a couple more 
available which I still have yet to check out.

The only real problem I forsee with using present day net tools is being able 
to run door programs.........might be a bit on the tricky side getting my BW 
and Xpress mail doors to work!
