That was it.  I added the MB_FBB_KLUGE from 2.0e to forward.c in my
DOS 2.0d and (drum roll) I forwarded both to winlink via a telpac
node and to an Airmail Packet Server.

Very soon there should be another column added to the Winlink
clients table:

Next steps.

  JNOS connected by TCP/IP to the windows system.
  Try out telpac forwarding
  AXCONV and Telpac...
  NSLU2 or WRT54G  (http://www.wetnet.net)

It's starting to get interesting - again.
