Not likely---how do you tell what system is calling in?!

Incidently, there's an easy solution, if you'd only talked to your
neighbours first (like me) :-)

I can tell my login script ("chat script") to keep looking, again,
and again, again... enough times to get by the login screen.

So sure, if you want a big, ugly, bbs screen, I can handle it.  I
assume Waffle can too (but you don't have any waffle sites calling
you, so it doesn't matter to you, right?)
