As long as you have the subsystem configured to accept telnet requests, yes. I
tried running a WWIV sub system from Synch, just to see if it would work and it
did. Most BBS executables will give you a command line switch menu, I.e.
Telling the BBS someone is already connected via telnet on port xx
Supressing echo if necessary
Telling the BBS not to hang up when the caller logs off
exit with errorlevel (x) (handy to trigger your mailer if you so choose)
etc, etc..
just set your logon routine to exec "SUBBBS.BAT", and pass along any paramaters
you may need I.e.
"SUBBBS %1 %2 %3", to get the switches working. What system were you planning
on running?
another way is to use telnet_gate, and set your sub BBS to listen to another
port. i.e - in baja...
