Depends on how you are starting up the program.

In batch files, under the WIN32 version of DOS command.com, the problem with 
using batch files to start a second program (such as Binkley to a BBS) is that 
command.com drops DTR, which for most setups will hang up on the caller.  So, 
it depends on methods used.

As to Binkley, I believe it was designed to call the fax software and not have 
the fax software call it.  At a minimum you will need to tweak the init strings 
in binkley.  And you would need to find a setup that lets you properly 
terminate binkley after each call....  Probably doable, but the reverse logic 
that I've seen most systems running Binkley use.....

I think there is a way to have binkley call BGFax for fax handling.  There is 
definately a way to have Binkley handle the fax calls along with the data 
calls.....  Why reverse the process?
