Telnet from the jnos menu to linbpq (BPQ for Linux) is fine but I
have the same problem from the jnos prompt to linbpq as Michael.<br>
<br>
I don't get the linbpq password prompt with eol set to default and
after a while jnos displays; can't open /jnos/sys/bbsdisc. <br>
(Probably because the bbsdisc file is still 0 bytes after
installation and not configured.)<br>
<br>
When eol is set to null I receive the bpq password prompt and can
login and execute the bpq node commands EXCEPT <br>
after I display the node list, the prompt is displayed after the
last Node and I don't receive a new line after that with the<br>
result that I can't log out! The bpq node list displays a blank
line after every node line. (double spaced)<br>

Hi Maiko,
I did that. It was in my original post. Here's my original post again,
with the original three questions:
I'm trying to set up a telnet entry for a BPQ BBS in forward.bbs. Before
doing that, I'm trying to connect using the telnet command at the JNOS
console prompt.
What I've discovered is this:
I can telnet to the remote system just fine from linux or from windows. I
get a "user:" prompt, enter my username (callsign) followed by return, get
the "password:" prompt, enter my password followed by return, and it logs me
in.
But I have difficulty telnetting from the JNOS console prompt. If I try to
telnet from the jnos console, the remote end responds with "user:". Good.
Then I type in my user name and hit return. But the cursor goes to the
beginning of the same line, not the next line. And I can't log in.
Just playing around, I discovered that if I set "eol null" before trying to
telnet from the console prompt, the login proceeds correctly. Just by
playing around, I found I could also set "eol standard", and then, whenever
a return is needed, I type <RETURN> followed by <CTRL><RETURN> and that
works the same way.
1st question: Can someone explain what is going on? i.e. What is the
problem? Why is it happening with JNOS and not with linux or windows?
Next, I tried the following forwarding entry (<> indicates a substitution
for the real value):
<bbscall>
tcp <hostname.domain> <port>
+user:
.<MYUSERID>
+password:
.<MYPASSWD>
<area-name>
<area-name>
----
Because of the above problem, it never completes the login and eventually
times out.
2nd question: How do I configure the equivalent of "eol null" in
forward.bbs
3rd question: I know that sometimes the "telpac" option is needed, such as
with FBB systems. But telp44.131.161.228ac is not documented in the manual or the release
history on the website. What does it do? When is it needed? (It doesn't
help in the above case).
Michael
