It accepts any combination of real, integer, and binary variables. It also offers a specialized solver for binary-only variables. There is also the commercial package "Industrial Optimization" that may offer this as well, although the price for the latter is much greater than the former. For MINLP, perhaps Industrial Opt offers this (check Wolfram's website), but you may also benefit from the Global Optimization 4.0 Mathematica package by Loehle Associates (which I own and am happy with).
