    Why? Why not... I can connect to my BBS or any wss enabled BBS I guess from my mIRC IRC client.

    Let me know what you think and I may make the script public for anyone who wants to give it a try.

    In my opinion, it makes no sense to connect a BBS over IRC. I dont have a usecase for it,
    but maybe someone have.

    Greetings

    It's not actually connecting over IRC. I meant to put mIRC > BBS in the subject.

    I don't think that's the case. From what I gather, he wrote a script to open a terminal and telnet to his BBS from mIRC. Kind of like setting up your web browser to open "telnet://" links with a terminal like Syncterm.
