BF> No, Argus does.
You need Argus to do that? The BBS does not have the option of listening and answer the call all by itself?
Having a mailer listen on the line and drop down to the BBS was based on the idea that one can have only one connection per physical line. Which of course is true for POTS. But with TCP/IP one can have many connections on e single "line". One could have the BBS listen on port 23 and the mailer listen on an alternate port. Or just forget about the mailer. EMSI was optimised for use over POTS. Binkp is optimised for use over TCP/IP.
I note that eljaco.se answers IPv6 on port 23. Very nice! netsh portproxy?

As long as you still have a POTS line and a modem. Here POTS lines are not free. Do you actualy get any incoming calls on POTS?
