Hello John and group....
I have been trying to compile a BPQmailbox forwarding script to connect from my BPQmailbox into another BPQmailbox via that station's node; via my telnet port connection [rather than via the AXIP/mapped routing connection that was available via UK broadband but does not work under my current internet connection via my mobile phone]
I tried earlier this year via a Windows setup that also failed to connect.... but the latest combination I am using is now a RPi4 that has the terminal logon screen:

My connect script for this BBS is currently [as above, my telnet port is nr 5]:
Idletime 60
att 5
c GB7XXX.DYNDNS.org 8010 telnet g4fvg
pause 3
passwordxxxxx
c gb7xxx [ or entering BBS command]
= = ==
Using the above does get me to the remote station's normal node prompt [after my login password was accepted], but fails to send [or react to] the last line where I ask the remote node to connect me to the BBS.
The distant node then times out and disconnects after the 60 seconds have elapsed.
Does anyone have a working connect script that works/forwards when connecting via an outgoing telnet connection?
