Use this script instead, I probably used the wrong one earlier :(  ttyS1 is my
dev/modem guy.. Sorry about that :(

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/bbbs
BBBSLANG en_US.utf8
while :
do
   cd /home/bbbs
  ./bbbs 2 2 TCPIP
#
  RC=$?
  echo BBBS RC: $RC
 if [ $RC = 137 ]; then
    exit
  fi
#  set this errorlevel in Global: FidoNet: Sessions: Mail errorlevel
#  if [ $RC = 11 ];
#    then nohup /home/bbbs/mailin.sh  &
#  fi
#  Above commented out since I run mailin.sh in a cron job now.
#  set this errorlevel in Global: FidoNet: Sessions: User mail errl.
#  if [ $RC = 12 ];
#  then nohup /home/bbbs/mailout.sh &
#  fi

  if [ $RC = 0 ]; then
    exit
  fi
  reset
done

Warren Hrach sent me those scripts 'eons' ago... He was a great fellow.

Take care,
Janis
