add user bbs no password
set user bbs host 204.blah.blah.blah
set user bbs service rlogin
works great... it does do a double prompting since there is no bbs
account on the linux box anymore... and that wasted too many resources on
the linux box for a rlogin to the box that telnetted them to the bbs...
works great here with the mbbs/wg
lemme know if you need more info...
