[nos-bbs] mbox fbb setting

[jerome schatten]

Michael…  I assume you’re running jnos?

Fbb=0 yields no compression, so the exchange is in plain text when forwarding. Fbb=2 gives you the compression, but sometimes produces weird disconnects (fbb errors) when jnos is forwarding with a station running an fbb system.  I leave mine set at fbb=2.  Ken is correct though… there are instances where fbb=2 appears to crash jnos during a forward cycle if the other station is running an fbb bbs.  

Seems to me that unless you are running RF radio links, compression doesn’t make much sense.
