At moment I run only the JNOS2 for ALL its particular features:
tcp/ip, wl2k, netrom, convers, netnews, etc. and naturally as
backup PBBS; then the obcm is almost used for AX.25 activities.
The obcm, fbb, and others full satisfy my requirement(s), so,
since the jnos2 will lack of this feature I should use them :)

There is a simple explanation, not specified before: the 'univperm',
and the 'anonymous' accesses are rejected since flagged to '128' ...
hope the jnos2 continue to function with them.
Being this situation you may access and forwarding only by using
netrom, inp3, flexnet ... then all for normal packet activities.

Hope to reply to all at my best: all forwarding are setup, on
my side, by using the B1F (and B2F), but not all partners are
using them...:(
Not all have the capability to access the net/rom or any ax.25
so the only and easy method is the use the telnet forwarding.
It's clear that any transmissions: packet-radio, tcp/ip, voice
(roip, voip, etc) may be spied, copied, and so on.
Then, password security and other tools are those implemented
on our programs, any of them has its challenging procedure...
if passwords are exposed in clear... patience.
For everyone who want to forward, have an axip/axudp link,
xnet link, and any other toys, IS VERY WELCOME HERE :)
At last, why don't use here the perm flag 63?
I used it since I noted that CIA, FBI, Russian, Chinees,
and others can access and do everything you can imagine
and don't imagine... very worst things.
