   If you mean that you want to dial into your BBS to get on the net then no.   
   It requires an   
   add-on that Vircom sold.  It's kind of a PITA to set up too because the   
   vircom   
   add-on installs itself as a NIC.  You need to bind that NIC to a subnet of   
   IP's that   
   is a subnet of your larger subnet.  It uses 3 IP's right off the bat since   
   you need   
   LINE, WIRE and the IP for the virtual NIC that acts as a gateway for dialup.   
      
   That's before you even assign IP's for dialup use.  Under these conditions,   
   the smallest   
   subnet that will work is 4 IP's.  Now add in the one you will use just for   
   the BBS and   
   your system already consumes 5 IP addresses.   
      
   If you don't have that many available then you will need to use a private   
   subnet and   
   use NAT to get out.  Of course that means also using NAPT to get incoming   
   telnet   
   to work.   
      
   Good luck.
