Yes, unless you manage to isolate them completly from each other in chroot
jails or so. But why, if you telnet to a system or make a mailer session
(assuming default ports being used) you only get connection to one bbs
system.

If it are only dialup systems it could work in a well prepared chroot
environment. That includes separate password files as well.

TL> cya,
