I think it's more in the sense of BBS softwares that run a telnet server on
port 23. It's apparant (since you've said so) that you can run Argus as your
frontend, and not run a BBS telnet server.. but some people prefer to run the
BBS's telnet server and use Argus aside from that. In that case, you would have
to run the mailer's telnet server on another port - which is the direction I
was originally going with it as well as Andrew.

Regards,
Nick
