[nos-bbs] Home BBS and auto forwarding

[Kerry Smith]

Bill,

>From what i've seen with NOS, it doesn't take the home bbs field
and use it for anything.  It doesn't set up an auto forward or such,
but it sure would be nice.  Only problem would be when someone puts
in a bbs that does not exist or something like that.
