I want to use my Linux box, with its connection to the web, as a router
for a DOS based BBS running on a second machine. To do so, the telnetter
would need to have his traffic redirected to one of 64 serial ports. The
selection of an available port would be done by the Linux system.
I have heard that mgetty can be configured to handle the incoming caller,
find the next available serial address, route the call to that port and
pass a message to the DOS BBS such as CONNECT 19200 which would emulate a
modem connection (all done via null-modem connections).
Does anyone know how to do this using mgetty or the what's and how's of
another package I should be using on the Linux box? No ethernet
connection will be going between the two machines ... null modem cabling
only.
Thanks.
