A bit of naming confusion here (I think...).   The 'telpac' option
applies to an Internet forwarding between JNOS and Winlink2K sysem.
The Airmail2000 program, which is what I'm working with, has the real
Internet standard SMTP server so the BBS/Telpac option doesn't apply
here.  Airmail2000 has a "telnet" client for B2F but not a server -- I
don't think.

Running SMTP/POP from JNOS to Airmail2000 is also on my list of
techniques to check out.  These standard tools in both JNOS and
AIRMAIL, for both server and clients is a big part of what makes this
so interesting and potentially useful.
