Hi Werner,

If I understood you properly, you run DosFBB and BPQ in a DOS box. But I 
run WinFBB in my Windows box. The only thing I can think now is maybe to 
install BPQ alongside with WinFBB - but I am not sure if BPQ will solve 
my problem of forwardinf with DOS JNOS box at all. In addition, I am not 
sure how to install BPQ under Windows OS.

Yes, I have also experimented with Maiko's installer. After the 
installation of JNOS 2.0d (I think that was the version) under DOS, I 
realized that it was not compiled for anything else but routing. Then I 
asked another ham with a compiler to make the new executable for me and 
he reported some errors, so I abandoned the idea of installing JNOS 2.xx 
for a while, and hope that JNOS 1.11f would be fine.

Yes Werner, but I plan to run DOS JNOS as a 24/7 mailbox and to feed it 
with bulletins from the WinFBB/LinFBB machine, when it is running. I 
mean, my JNOS will not connect to the Internet at all but only to local 
VHF band. The issue I have is forwarding between FBB and JNOS over 
Ethernet. Have you experienced any problem when you forward between your 
FBB and other hams running JNOS mailboxes?

Ok, will check your files and see what I can do here. Thanks for suggestion.
