    Anyone have any luck getting PCBoard to work being shelled from a telnet frontend? So far out of all the different BBS software I have tried, PCB was the only one that I could not get to work shelling from a BAT file from Argus.

    Quite a while back I played with my old setup and actually had synchronet run as the front end, and it loaded fine. Only problem I found was the bbs loaded fine, but if dropping out to say my Blue wave door, it would bomb! Keep trying I know it can be done with other front ends also, I just haven't tried it personally.

    Have a good One!

    were you passing the simulated COM port or the handle? PCBoard, being a traditional bbs, will require a COM port that it can reach... with this in mind, you have to use a virtual modem package that provides virtual COM ports...

    plus, PCB has to be able to accept a hot port and recognize that a caller is already online and only needs to do the login stuff to enter...
