Hi all,

note that the (x)FBB PBBS system is almost unknown there ðŸÖ‚

Example of 'beacon1.sys (refer to port.sys setup)

# beacon1.sys
% 5
! LINUX v I0OJJ-3
$d-$a $H $O-$o PBBS [jn61lr] ** linFBB v$E **$WMessages for:$Q

So, the format is:

!<dest>,<digi>,...<digi>

the I0OJJ-3 is a XNET node

For FBB-type BBSs, you need to set M U in INITTNCx.SYS to
enable the UI frame monitor; then, to broadcast messages
on different channels, you need to create a BEACONx.SYS

Example of 'inittnc1.sys (refer to port.sys setup)

# inittnc1.sys
# INITTNC for LINUX interface
#
I IR0AAB-1
U 0
N 10
M U

Enjoy!
