Another idea, which is way easier (in my opinion), is to use OpenXP as a  
point software. I guess it is comparable to golded, but has everything  
needed to poll for packets built-in. You just have so search a BBS uplink  
and register as a point. And you also don't have to have binkp running as  
a daemon all the time :)

Thank you for this hint!
Although, at the moment at least, all my doors are running fine :)
