[nos-bbs] JNOS mbox fbb # vs. FBB forward.sys N #

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Gus, can you explain further your comment below about mandatory “N 1” on the FBB side compared to the following …

 

>From http://www.f6fbb.org/fbbdoc/fmtforwa.htm I read that the FBB forward.sys file can contain:

 

N (number)

Assigns the standard forward protocol (MBL/RLI) for the specified BBS.

  1 = FBB forwarding allowed

  2 = FBB+BIN forwarding

  4 = FBB+BIN+Resume

  8 = XFWD

  Ex: N 15 = Sum of all protocols (default)

 

My understanding is that “N 0” is actually just old-style, non-batched forwarding, like our “mbox fbb 0”.

 

If you are correct that “N 1” is required on the FBB side for FBB-style forwarding with JNOS, then according to the above info, “N 1” is apparently just standard, batched FBB forwarding with no compression (SID option “F”).  And that would be the equivalent of “mbox fbb 1” on the JNOS side.

The 'telnet' setup on the side of xfbb should be:

# Linux AX.25 port
#P A
# Telnet port
P B
#
# No compression [N 0]
N 1
#
IF H 00-23
 S connected failure busy
 C C IR0RM-1 44.134.32.233 23
 V i0ojj$Wxxxnnnxxx$W
ENDIF

mandatory, for now, is to setup 'N 1'.

Note for Maiko: the problem seems reside on the fact that
the FBB and some other terminal packet programs need a
transparent TCP connection rather than the full TELNET
protocol.

On the JNOS2 side set the connection to:

# for xfbb 7.05g/7.0.8 [ir0aab-1] <- telnet fwd OK (N 1)
telnet 44.134.32.240 6300
