If you can send me a link to the software you are using I can take a shot at it. My experience with terminal servers have be limited to UNIX machines where a telnet connection sets DTR high and a disconnect sets DTR low. The low signal sends a SIGHUP to UNIX and logs out the user. It should be possible to write or find BBS software that can use DTR.
I have to imagine that the author of a BBS package would start with a null modem connection and simply use DTR for development.
