 Dial Up Gateway 
 24 Nov 10 00:57:52 
 
From: "Netsurge" 

I have been working on a dial-up -> telnet gateway for bbs-scene.org over the
past few weeks.  This dial-up gateway will offer dial-up access to all of the
bbs systems listed in the bbs-scene.org bbs list.

Essentailly a user will call a number and be presented with a menu of bbs
systems, the server will then create a telnet connection to the bbs the user
chooses.  This will give all the sysops who have their systems listed in the
bbs list the ability to offer dial-up access.

What I need, before I roll this out is a few testers.  If you have a modem
handy (if you don't know what a modem is this your way too young for this) then
fire up SyncTERM, set it to modem and dial 416-623-2970.

Please let me know how you make out here.  This is currently setup on a voip
line which usually causes connection issues at speeds faster than 28800.  I'm
toying with the idea of adding an acutal POTS like to ensure stability based on
the feedback I get from people testing it.

Thanks.
