IIRC there was a linux distribution of it called BinkleyTerm XE.  I tried
it once and don't think I got it working.  I didn't try very hard, though.

The one caveat with it is that, to my knowledge, there are no linux BBS
packages that will accept a hand-off from it if the connection turns out to
be a BBS caller instead of an FTN node.  That is why I didn't try too hard.

With AI getting better at answer coding questions, it might not be a bad
time to revisit to see if I can at least get it to compile with more modern
libraries, and maybe get it to do something similar to sexpots and route
human callers via telnet connection to the BBS.
