has anyone used TCPSER to hook up an old style POTS modem and
then use TCPSER to initiate a telnet connection to a BBS?
Yes, on a Raspberry Pi. Works like a champ.
So I can do something like ./tcpser -d /dev/ttyS0 -s 38400 -D localhost:2323 and it will answer incoming calls and then telnet
to localhost on port 2323?
That looks correct... I mis-read your original question a little,
because I use it on a MSDOS computer running a (DOS) BBS, so the
incoming telnet "call" is translated to serial (by tcpser on the RPi).
On one of the USB connectors of the Pi, I have a USB-to-serial
adapter, which connects to the serial port of the DOS computer with a
standard 9-pin serial cable.
The command line I run on the RPi for this is:
sudo tcpser -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 57600 -p 23 -i "Z" &
So your scenario is actually going "the other direction" if I'm
reading it right. A quick glance at the man page would seem to
indicate your command line is correct, or at least close. I take it
that is not working though?
There is reasonably good documentation out there for it, one place to
look at is:

... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
