[nos-bbs] BPQ telnet problem

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

Telnet from the jnos menu to linbpq (BPQ for Linux) is fine but I have 
the same problem from the jnos prompt to linbpq as Michael.

I don't get the linbpq password prompt with eol set to default and after 
a while jnos displays; can't open /jnos/sys/bbsdisc.
(Probably because the bbsdisc file is still 0 bytes after installation 
and not configured.)

When eol is set to null I receive the bpq password prompt and can login 
and execute the bpq node commands EXCEPT
after I display the node list, the prompt is displayed after the last 
Node  and I don't receive a new line after that with the
result that I can't log out!  The bpq node list displays a blank line 
after every node line. (double spaced)

73,
