   Note from Kim regarding BBBS and NetFoss   
   02 Dec 13 12:25:02   
   
   Kim sent me this email this morning:   
      
   ===cut here===   
   Hi all,   
      
   After 4 months I finally had time to take a deeper look at this.   
      
   > Have you had a chance to allow BBBS for Windows to pass the telnet   
   > socket handle to a DOS door?   
      
   BBBS is using BBBSD, which is inetd-alike daemon accepting incoming   
   telnet and acting as a gateway to BBBS. It's BBBSD that has socket handle, not   
   BBBS. So basically, it's impossible.   
      
   Options here are:   
      
   1) NetFoss could support BBBSD-communication, which is mapfiles. I do NOT   
   recommend this.   
      
   2) Rudi could use NetSerial or similar program instead of BBBSD. He can still   
   use BBBSD for outgoing binkp, incoming email etc, but not for incoming telnet.   
   He probably should use BBBS/D with NetSerial and BBBS/W with BBBSD. This is   
   the recommended way.   
   ===cut here===   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
