[nos-bbs] Question about jnos ALT connection syntax

[Maiko Langelaar (Personal)]

It should be, what if you type


    NETROM W1ABC-4 on the f10 jnos console ?


Also, is the ax25 NODE-ME W1ABC-4 actually bombing or it's just
sitting there without a timeout ? You can try to kick the w1abc area,
then immediate do a 'ax25 reset w1abc-4' which should fail the first
connetion, and force it to try the second one. Make sense ?
