      <p>Fbb forwarding protocols can operate either in ASCII or binary
        compressed modes.</p>
      <p>The three versions of FBB protocol are : </p>

      <br>
      Each version is backwards
      compatible with the previous one.<br>
      <br>
      The values related to the N switch below are referred to some<br>
      features (BIN, BIN+RESUME, XForwanding) added to *FBB PBBS*,<br>
      repeat the *PBBS software*, and have nothing to do with the so<br>
      called *FBB protocol*.<br>
      So, indicating N 1, simply means to force the FBB *PBBS* to use<br>
      ONLY the standard FBB protocol.<br>

    Today, I understand that saying the word "FBB protocol"<br>

    switch, being the JNOS2 a work in progress (see my previous msg),<br>
    how can be demonstrated?<br>
