OK, I have tried.  Here's my report.

I got the same result.  My JNOS log shows:

19:53:00  - recv [[WL2K-2.5.0.1-B2FIHJM$]
]
19:53:01  - recv [SanDiego CMS via WA4ZKO-11 >
]
19:53:01  - sending our SID
19:53:01  KR0L-7 on port rms - MBOX (wl2k) forwarding
19:53:04  KR0L-7 on port rms - MBOX (wl2k) FA E X Y Z 7G9QYPPFQIVH 142 
140 0 0
19:53:04  KR0L-7 on port rms - our FBB response is FS -

Interestingly, to axlisten this happened slightly differently:

ip: fm KD1ZD-6 to KR0L-2 ctl I31^ pid=CF(NET/ROM) len 49 19:53:04
NET/ROM: WA4ZKO-5->KR0L-2 ttl 23
          info: ur ckt 02/08 txseq 3 rxseq 2
0000  FC EM 7G9QYPPFQIVH 142 140 0.
ip: fm KD1ZD-6 to KR0L-2 ctl I32+ pid=CF(NET/ROM) len 26 19:53:04
NET/ROM: WA4ZKO-5->KR0L-2 ttl 23
          info: ur ckt 02/08 txseq 4 rxseq 2
0000  F> 5D.
ip: fm KR0L-2 to KD1ZD-6 ctl I33^ pid=CF(NET/ROM) len 25 19:53:05
NET/ROM: KR0L-2->WA4ZKO-5 ttl 15
          info: ur ckt 01/DE txseq 2 rxseq 5
0000  FS -.


So, in other words, the RMS server sent out the strings:

   FC EM 7G9QYPPFQIVH 142 140 0
   F> 5D

But JNOS logged FA E X Y Z 7G9QYPPFQIVH 142 140.

And JNOS responded back with FS -.

My forward.bbs looks like:

-------------
wl2k P
ax25 rms kr0l-7
+>
*
.C KYWIL d
+Connected
*
.C RMSWIL
wl2k
-------------

If I may ask a tangentially-related question: why do I have to set up a 
tun0 and kissattach tunnel for JNOS?  The Linux kernel already provides 
this stuff natively -- and binding to a specific IP address and such is 
something commonly done by things like apache already.  I suspect the 
answer may be "because that's how JNOS was written and nobody has 
volunteered to change it" -- which is of course perfectly valid.  But I 
wanted to make sure that was the case and that I wasn't missing something.

Thanks again for the help, 73s, and don't spend too much of your 
Christmas answering my questions ;-)
