So you're basically saying that the DOS version of BinkleyTerm can't run
spawnbbs.bat under Windows 2000 ?
I'd have to use thw Win32 BinkleyTerm or WinFOSSIL to get it to work ?

Somewhere in Bt-ref.txt mentions leaving DTR high, but that might have been
related to terminal mode.
Even if I left DTR high when calling "bt unattended", BinkleyTerm would need to
know that a connection had been made ie. "CONNECT" needs to be sent. Otherwise
I doin't see BinkleyTerm doing anything with the live line after it enters
unattended mode ... it would just sit there until the remote end hangs up.
BJ> I think there is a way to have binkley call BGFax for

BJ> Binkley handle the fax calls along with the data
BJ> calls..... Why reverse the process?
I want to see if I can pass telnet callers to BinkleyTerm without using virtual
modem or virtual com port methods.
FrontDoor can do it, so I want to see if BinkleyTerm could.
