   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   
      
   Sorry, my first message got saved by mistake.. this should have been added:   
      
   To start BTERM from the command line just rename the bbbs binary to bterm..   
      
   Over here I created a separate directory for it.. you rename BBBS to btelnet   
   if IIRC...
