I'm very sorry about this troubles, and first of all I want to TNX
Maiko<br>
for its efforts on support the hamradio community!<br>
<br>
So, go ahead, the possible (so called) FBB flags are: <br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The flag option may be one of the
following: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>0</strong> > standard WA7MBL-style forwarding </p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>1</strong> > FBB batched-style forwarding </p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>2</strong> > FBB compressed and batched forwarding
(B1F)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>3</strong> > B2F compression for WL2K [only for
jnos2.0f2 or later] </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
and since the B2F contains the B1F capabilities (owned by FBB and
others)<br>
why come back to 1980s by using the MBL style? No sense!<br>
</p>
<p>Since a few years after the progress on B1F and B2F made on the
JNOS2<br>
I removed the old setup and so in the JNOS-2.0j.7v era they
remains:<br>
</p>
<p>#mbox fbb 0<br>
#mbox nob2f <callsign> # not more needed as of JNOS-2.0j.4<br>
</p>
<title></title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="LibreOffice 3.5 (Linux)">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
@page { margin: 2cm }
P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm }
A:link { so-language: zxx }
-->
</style><br>
in that situation the JNOS2 reply and confirm to us:<br>
<br>
"Default to Mailbox FBB Style Forwarding: 3"<br>
<br>
and the related SID shows the FLAGS "B2FHIM$".<br>
<br>
About the forwarding capabilities of the actual JNOS2, my tests<br>
and the daily forwarding confirm the full compatibility with the<br>
linux xdfbb-7.0.8b (November 2015) and some (NOT ALL) of the<br>
previous versions.<br>
<br>
The 'telnet' setup on the side of xfbb should be:<br>
<br>
# Linux AX.25 port<br>
#P A<br>
# Telnet port<br>
P B<br>
#<br>
# No compression [N 0]<br>
N 1<br>
#<br>
IF H 00-23<br>
S connected failure busy<br>
C C IR0RM-1 44.134.32.233 23<br>
V i0ojj$Wxxxnnnxxx$W<br>
ENDIF<br>
<br>
mandatory, for now, is to setup 'N 1'.<br>
<br>
Note for Maiko: the problem seems reside on the fact that<br>
the FBB and some other terminal packet programs need a<br>
transparent TCP connection rather than the full TELNET<br>
protocol.<br>
<br>
On the JNOS2 side set the connection to:<br>
<br>
# for xfbb 7.05g/7.0.8 [ir0aab-1] <- telnet fwd OK (N 1)<br>
telnet 44.134.32.240 6300<br>
<br>
For other PBBS software, FBB or not, the only way is<br>
to forward via the AX.25: it function very OK; example:<br>
<br>
ax25 xnet ir0aab-1 i0ojj-3<br>
<br>
That's all!<br>
