The reason is, that i want to use a front end (like Binkley) and pass the
link on request to PPP or to my BBS program (Maximus).
Due to the fact that Binkley opens the com port and pass a hot com port
handle to Maximus. Maximus takes over this handle and does it further
processing.
PPP does not take this handle and tries to open this com port himself. But
it is already locked by Binkley. So PPP tells me that he can not open the
com port, which is correct because Binkley already did it.
I don't want to dial out. I only want to give my BBS users the choice to
navigate through the BBS via the normal menu driven systen or to enable
them to dial in via PPP and navigate by using the webserver installed here.

Any questions and solutions ?
