I have set up FBB on my linux box, listening at KC0LQL-3, and have NODE
also running on KC0LQL-5. I use FBB for mail and conference, and
NODE for a database gateway (amoung other things).

I want to be able to access either from a command prompt on the system,
however currently I can only get to "node" via "telnet localhost node".

I would like to be able to get to FBB the same way, but it does not
appear to have the same archietecture. (it runs as a daemon rather than
using ax25d.conf, and I do not see any listening TCP/IP ports). How can
I get to FBB directly? Getting to it is possibe by using "call" to
digipeat to my host via a local digipeater, but that is a needless waste
of bandwidth.

Finally, if I do digi through somewhere else and try to connect, my
connection is failing if there is already someone connected. i.e. only
one person appears to be allowed on at a time. I think I have something
set up incorrectly to prevent FBB from allowing multiple connections.

I want to be able to have more than one connection active at a time (for
"conference" mode, and trivialnetdb access at least).

Another alternative would be to ditch FBB in favor of some other
conference & email program.

Any advice will be appreciated.
