Thanks to a list member with a good memory I have

get running a copy of Fido BBS on my DEC Rainbow.
It's just about as I had it back in 1983 as Fido_UK1. I can run it
on a
modem that would have been current in'83.
I now want to make it available via telnet. I do have a windows based
application that will convert a telnet connection to an emulated modem
connection.
However what would be really nice is to hook up a DECServer 200/mc to
convert an incoming Telnet call to a port emulating a modem.
That means the Rainbow would think it was connected to a modem.
Connection
should be indicated by asserting DCD.
Is it possible? If so how?
Not really, no...the DECserver-200 family doesn't speak TCP/IP,
only LAT.
