Thanks for the hint Joe. However it raises more questions.

I don't find any binkp named program on Hobbes nor on any OS/2 CD's
I have available (many) in my BBS. Binkleyterm yes but no Binkp.

With just a hint to which program to use I gather that there will be
some script or .cmd files describing the steps PCBoard should take.

Because I still have a hub that I connect to via land line, how do
I get PCBoard to understand that it has to connect via TCP/IP to one
and via land line to the other.

Of course I understand that for the TCP/IP (or Telnet) to be able to
connect some .cmd, .rex or .PPE program has to first dial my ISP via
presumably the program "DialOtherInternetProvider" that I use to
manually call up my ISP but it has to be spawned from PCBoard.

All my calls to the hub and host are done automatically while I sleep.

Regards,

Holger
