If you mean that telnet to one IP would give the node and a telnet to
another IP would give the bbs then that can be done. You can try it;
"telnet oh2rbi" gives you our BBS and "telnet oh2rbi-1" gives LinuxNode.
They are both physically on the same box. (And in case anyone is wondering
- no use asking for access to either one, we have a policy...)
FBB has direct support for listening only on one IP address. For LinuxNode
you need to swtich from inetd to xinetd, it has support for multihoming.
Outgoing connections from the BBS with the correct IP would be a problem
however. At least I think so. Would need some modification in FBB sources.

I use a dummy interface for that (CONFIG_DUMMY).
