[nos-bbs] Mbox jumpstart

['Gustavo Ponza']

Brian question:

no problem experienced here by using xnet, tnn and bpqnode
to directly connect the jnos2 bbs callsign i0ojj-8.

Michael:

the axip function correctly only on local connects;
the axudp must be used for any other (far) connects.

Otherwise, the remote JNOS system does not respond with the SID after connect and the connection just sits there and does nothing.  Example:
