Guess I'm going to have to dig out the BinkleyTerm 2.60 documentation and
see if I can find the way to set Bink up to receive a hot comm port....  Or
find that I'm remembering some other (old) package......

Unfortunately, for some  of my thoughts -- which include Max running under
mgetty, Wes is correct....  Max won't run in that environment any time
soon....  I keep forgetting about the console side of Max.....  Once we
have other things working, I do have a trick up my sleave that I want to
try thou that might allow for mgetty to work.....  But it basically tosses
the console side of max to the bit bucket.....  With out maxpipes working
that will leave max running blind to the sysop.....

Hmmmm.....

Take care.....
