Very often by 'tcpdump' the tun0 I can see several repeated
'unknown protocol' from linux and jnos2... but it perhaps is
related to the proto (93).
Good about the whole rsync download and recompile is that
I can safely #undef the vara and the winrpr drivers and
get the normal steady rock jnos2 work.
Not so good: the MBOX SID report since it is sometimes
messed-up: see the following example:
a. wrong report.
[OPENBCM-1.08-5-G2F4A-AB1D1FHMRW$]
obcm 01:42:25 44.135.49.2:6300
b. right report
[OPENBCM-1.08-5-G2F4A-B1FHM$]
i0ojj 01:51:48 I0OJJ-2 on port hub
Then the string 'Auth ....' introduced in this last days
is disappeared... and perhaps (since I'm sleeping) the
MFA excluded line, too... :)
