Thanks for all the help to everyone - It's running fine now.

On my way I found an interesting feature (or maybe it's a Bug)
using .../linFBB as home on a case sensitive fs keeps FBB from working,
using .../linFBB as home on an case insensitive fs ( msdos, vfat ... )
allows FBB to start but will prevent it from working correctly under
linux (no connects allowed). So it seems that the FBB should be
installed
onto an all-lowercase directory. ( anyone who stuck to the manual which
states that it ought to be put into /usr/loca/fbb is OK. )

- One thing for a HOWTO -

Another question for the round:

I configured netrom and created a call alias "alias:call" and found
that another node could not connect to my box using the "alias" as
destination callsign - Although everything else seems to run fine.
If anyone can give me a hand here (axports and nrports files ..)
I'd be really happy.

oh! last thing - in my last mail I stated that herrendo was my mailID at

ibmnet. THAT IS WRONG ! my email is eiet.jufqx@sanmei.co.jp.

thats it, bye all
