      XPost: alt.bbs.majorbbs       From: vators@snug.nospam.cove.com              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.       Bill              "Leonzo E. Miller III" |
