Hi Allen,

Ok, for TCPIP on my
node 2, I use this in my scripts:
==============cut here===========
#!/bin/sh
while :
do
cd /home/bbbs
./bbbs 1 2 /dev/ttyS1 "uid":bbs
# see note below about above line
RC=$?
echo BBBS RC: $RC
if [ $RC = 137 ]; then
exit
fi
if [ $RC = 0 ]; then
exit
fi
reset
done
==========cut here=====

To load up the manual, you type ./bag sysop.gui or cat sysop.txt. Press S for
search, then search for bterm.
One way to start bterm is from the WFC screen... 1st, press Esc, then the
arrow-right key to Applications->BTERM
To start BTERM from the command line is a bit more involved.. see the docs
about that.. Over here I created a separate directory for it.. you rename bterm
to btelnet if IIRC...
