[nos-bbs] Trouble connecting to BBS with telnet

[Jack Eifer]

Michael,

I also forward with n0ary. The only difference I can see between our forward scripts is I do not use the '+N0ARY' and '*5' statements. 

I assume the sysop has you setup as a bbs---not a user.

Also, how is your Jnos 'mb fbb' command set? Is is it set to 0, 1, 2 or 3?

I didn't really understand the note in the manual about "full stop".  I still don't but I'm guessing it has something to do with a "." in the first column.  Anyway, I removed the space and now JNOS is fully connecting to the remote system.
