I don't understand what's going on here. The 'mbox winlinkcall NNNN' 
should be configured in autoexec.nos, and that NNNN callsign is what
is put into the ;FW place. That will only request messages for that
callsign. I had planned a future version that would let the  sysops
configure mulitple callsigns so that messages from multiple callsigns
could be downloaded in one shot, but I have not done that yet.

I don't see why one has to take out that code. It works fine for me.

I don't think it's as simple as that, there is a challenge and password
phrase methodoloy involved, anyways I haven't got to doing multiple FW
calls yet, if this is what the issue truly is here.

You mean remove the callsign from the ;FW phrase. ve4klm is certainly
not hardcoded. Again that call is taken from the new 'mbox winlinkcall'
command.
