 I have never ran a BBS so I do not know about BBS setups.   I answered
 you question a caller not a SYSOP, but from what I have been told and
 seen and experienced I would have to say maybe.  It has been a long
 time since I did a dialup to a BBS.  When I first started using a BBS
 it was a long distance call and so I got started using the mail door
 (it was a QWK on a TBBS system) with the BlueWave reader.  Later the
 SYSOP created an ISP and set things up so that I could telnet into the
 BBS. I could not tell the difference between a dialup connection and a
 telnet connection.  All functions including the mail door work with
 either connection.

 Now what setup did he have to do to make this work I do not know as I
 have only been a BBS caller not a SYSOP.

 This BBS that I am using is a long way from my home and I have only
 used Telnet to connect to it and used the bluewave door.
