You could try TCP to Serial which is a shareware program that can be
downloaded from:

     http://www.aball.de/~gotti/tcptoser.html

You can use it to originate sessions or to listen to a certain port to
waiting for incoming sessions.  It should allow you to hook your Apple
II serial port to a Windows machine's serial port via a null modem
connection and be able to transfer data but I'm not sure how, or if,
it would signal the BBS to tell it that a connection was starting.
Perhaps it uses the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) line.

It is probably worth a try.  You get 30 days to decide if you want to
pay for it or not.
