I can only specify username, password and term type.
It's a mannsoft door to allow 32 bit BBSes without native telnet or rlogin
support to do those features. EleBBS has telnet support, but it's not
documented very well. Same with IRC. I use external doors for both.
-YUsername -XPassword -Ztermtype are the options. As I said, the first time
I use this method to connect, it requires me to enter a user name and
location from the new user form. Every time after that, it works as
designed.
