Right! The big failure of BPQ exists ONLY between BPQ and LinFBB, obcm,
and similar: namely when those 'pure' PBBS systems forward via telnet
towards the BPQ and no vice versa.

Nope. All my JNOS2 dev and presently the .p6 - 09 Feb 2025 are
correctly forwarding, at least in outbound forwarding since
they don't forward towards the JNOS2:

[FBB-7.0.11-AB1FHMRX$]
  lu1dbq 09:05:19  186.129.xxx.xxx:6xxx
  gb7cip 09:05:18  77.104.162.230:6300

for example, see this (actual) JNOS log:

04:49:56  77.104.162.230:6300 - MBOX (gb7cip) connected
04:49:58  77.104.162.230:6300 - MBOX (gb7cip) forwarding

Found the error... the above switch setup is obsolete, the new one
from LinFBB 7.0.5 and up, is the following (from my setup):

---------
# Use (when possible) compressed forward
#Parameter after "use compressed forwarding" give the options between
#compressed protocols:
#1 = FBB compressed forwarding
#2 = XFWD compressed forwarding
#OK 3 allow both FBB and XFWD.
fbbcomp = OK 3
----------

Also, recommend to not select the below switch:

#  512: XForwarding protocol has priority on FBB protocol.
