[nos-bbs] TNODE

[Jack Eifer]

Gentlemen,

The TNODE is 'define' in most of my compiles, since Brian (n1uro)introduced
it.  As I recall, it was a way to telnet into jnos from a non-44net address,
using port 3694.  This assumes your port forwarding is setup in your 
router.
In the examples below, I choose to enter 'bbs' using the usual 'B' command
at the jnos console, then using the command 'telnet 3694' from the console.
Note the subtle differences in the greeting messages.
