You can do it, either from MAximus (to keep on topic), or from Binkley. Read 
up on external mail and alternate pass off methods of Binkley...
When Bink says :-
Banner You're connected! Welcome to Teleport BBS login:     
BBSNote Loading Maximus BBS login:                          
I use the second login: to send text string login PPP from the remote caller.
ExtrnMail    99      ppp   
ExtrnMail    99      PPP   
You WILL need this patched Maxcomm.dll to allow PPP to share the comm port.
I use an external mail login to Binkley to start PPP or use a menu drop from 
Max to start PPP
I assume your using OS2 ?
