Hi all,
doing my checks in 'call area 6' of USA I found
the following:
1) the mistake is originated by Sysop's setup
and not by Users
2) the software concerned is the (x)BPQ in all
cases
The lack of Sysops concerned, apart the sloth or
indolence to not read any doc to learn how-to-do
their jobs, can be simply solved (also for other
similar cases concerned, i.e. the double callsign
on the '@<home_bbs' line) by learning, in general,
the difference between the 'Home BBS' and the
'BBS HA' fields (a G8BPQ extravaganza, HI!).
Taking as an example the case of KD6MTU setup, the
correct enters should be:
in 'Update User' mask:
Home BBS KD6MTU.#NCA.CA.USA.NOAM
in 'Forwarding Config for' mask:
BBS HA #NCA.CA.USA.NOAM
but WITHOUT the leading DOT which is
the cause of N2NOV remarks, HI!
