I believe it can be done. But it depends on how SexPOTS was coded. I am
clarifying these details with the author.

But I need to have my BBS callers see a "Press  twice for BBS" prompt.

You are not fully utilising Platinum Xpress if you are not enabling BBS
callers.

All I saw was KityMail and NetRunner. One is a mail processor, and the other
is a telnet client.
