At work we have used both a password-less account called "bbs" on our Unix 
machine that runs a C-Kermit script to use a null modem connection (Stallion 
EasyConnection on Unix, Digi PC/16 on the bbs) to a bbs, and Esoft's IPAD in 
conjunction with Esoft's TBBS bbs software.
Esoft's TBBS also allows IPX-based logins using a driver called TIPXI14 which 
supplies an Interrupt 14h or FOSSIL interface to DOS communications software.
