[nos-bbs] mbox fbb setting

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Thanks Jerome.

Yes, JNOS.  And, yes, RF links.

That's what I was afraid of (continued problems).  

I guess setting mbox fbb 2 in autoexec.nos and then using "!" (eschew FBB compression) in forward.bbs for FBB stations would effectively make the FBB session behave like mbox fbb 1, right?

But I heard there were also problems with fbb 1.

I know that JNOS 2.0j.7v has more detailed logging of the forwarding session.  Maybe that will help us isolate the case that causes the crash?

Also, when you say "crash", do you mean that JNOS exits, or does it hang?
