More about the (bug?) thread I started last night...<BR>
<BR>
This morning I attempted to replicate the bug(?) - without success.<BR>
Using multi-console feature I initiated a bbs telnet connect and did some local commands.<BR>
The F4 sysop console reported the F5 bbs activity faithfully.<BR>
<BR>
More about the failed session from the trace on the asy port:<BR>
The BBS user I LOOKed at last night was an AX.25-only session.<BR>
He used the ax.25 CONNECT via 2-meter VHF packet from a non-jnos system plus one digi to access my site.<BR>
When I looked on, he was further connected to another jnos site in the neighborhood forming a connect chain with my site in the middle.<BR>
AND while I watched he tried to extend the chain via a CONNECT thru a HF packet port on the neighbor site.<BR>
There was no IP transaction in anything he did in the session with my site.<BR>
<BR>
The obvious differences are "port of access", "network protocol used", and "where commands are executed".<BR>
In order to replicate last night will require some more time and LOOKing on my part.<BR>
Jay reports being successful always / I have not / I don't know all the variables involved.<BR>
<BR>
Any suggestions on what specific attributes to further look for / or pot-luck?<BR>
