BPQMail don't use any of FBB's language-text files, sorry
can't understand that point about "bpq bbs get source from winfbb",
its not true.

On my imho, its was bad thing where hams dropped radio and later off axUDP
nodes-linking and replaced it all by "dumb" telnet-fwd, even if you recall,
near year 2000 most of normal packet ops called them "LLL" (land-line-lids).

And just now with fresh (Lin)BPQ(32) development we back live to original 
nodes links system based on netrom or imp3. Although it is now based mostly
on axudp, it works fine if proper setup.
Its our ham thing, why we should not use it or lost it in regards to telnet?!
Even some type of "auto-routing" forward feature of German's BBS s/w use
nodes linking to find a route!

Because developer was not considered to add telnet-fwd at all,
originally telnet server ("tcpport") was done just for sysop's terminal
remote access to node. Later by few asks he added fbb-telnet mode too.

Your founded problem of non-compatible telnet fwd from (or to?) BPQmail
should checked again. Of course its good to fix it.
