Hi Roy,

Under Os2 it is as simple as using Vmodem as a TcpModem device, and run Max
out of the box on that port.

Now if you want your callers to log in via a tcp/ppp conection to Maximus,
you will need to get binkley (or other front end) to pass the incoming call
to a process to kick in PPP.

Then they telnet to your BBS. Now most telnet programs dont support zmodem
transfers so there can be limits on what the callers can do on the
telneted/BBS connection. If they run a better telnet client that supports
zmodem etc transfers they can proceed as normal.

Your callers then have a PPP connection to your machine, and if its on the
'net permanetly or dial up , you could pass your callers out to the net.
