BTW it is possible to configure BPQ to support only one application and no
node (NODE=0 and BBS=1 in the config file). I had one system working like
that for some time. I guess BPQ then does the same kind of heuristics as
the NOS "mbox jumpstart" kludge used to do to distinguish between users
and other nodes.
