well it looks like my syncterm by default tries rlogin on any port i provide 
in the command line.  i have an hourly bbs thing on my irc and telegram 
channel  and i just click it from my client and visit them that way.

if i add an entry and choose raw it works.
i tried to get on but got disconnected because it was 'busy'

you might want to put info in your login screen about changing connection 
type to raw.


and for the other problems, perhaps you could run a telnet daemon on another 
computer on your network and forward it to your internal os2 bbs?

if you ran a linux or windows version of synch in a vm and forwarded it to 
your os2 system you would open up a lot of options for security and 
scripting.
