[nos-bbs] Winlink and JNOS sharing the same COM port

[Bob Tenty]

Hi Jose,

What is used for Winlink normally at linux is called RMS (Linux RMS
gateway) and the ax25d daemon is just listening for that particular
callsign + SSID and
after a request starts the rms node what just connects to one of the
Winlink WL2K CMS servers.
