[nos-bbs] JNOS forwarding to WL2K

[George [Skip] VerDuin]

Hi Bill -- I'm glad you asked the question.
For the wiki, I'd really like to sort out and publish all the variables 
needed for success...

As I recall from my try I saw something similar -- never a complete(?) 
handshake sequence.

After Maiko published his success with jnos2.0e(?) link over hf(?) to 
wl2k, I tried to access a vhf port into the network.  I was not fully 
successful.  My reasoning was that wl2k folks had recently installed 
RMS(?) access software for all ports, and it looked to me like the same 
protocol was used for both hf & vhf paths.  I guess I was pretty wrong.  
After my failure I put out a couple feelers but the subject went to the 
back burner.

My purpose for adding to Bills request is mostly to announce my own 
interest in the subject.   My use of "(?)" is to show I have a flawed 
memory and I did not research my notes.  If the details of my work are 
useful, I'll dig them out.  I do hope to see enough info here to let me 
update wiki with both what works and what fails.
