PASSALL {ON | OFF}
default OFF
This command enables the attempt to display corrupted packets when PASSALL is ON.
If a packet contains beginning and ending flags, the TNC will attempt to decode the
address field as well as the data field and display the packet as specified by other
commands such as MONITOR. MHEARD and NDHEARD logging are disabled when
PASSALL is ON.
When PASSALL is OFF, packets will be displayed only if the CRC (error checking) is
correct and as specified by other commands such as MONITOR.
PBBS [n | STATUS] (maximum value of n depends on available RAM)
default 5 (if RAM = 32 kbytes), 100 (128 kbytes), or 480 (512 kbytes)
Setting n greater than 0 allocates memory and activates the Personal Mailbox in the
TNC. The amount of memory allocated will be n kilobytes, and may be limited by other
functions that require memory (e.g. NUMNODES and MAXUSERS). Changing the size
of the PBBS memory allocation will not affect the contents of the mailbox (messages will
be preserved). If you attempt to set the PBBS smaller than is required for existing
messages you will receive the message ―Messages would be lost‖ and no change will
be made to the mailbox size. In this case to reduce the size of the mailbox you must first
either kill some of the messages or set PBBS 0 which will delete all messages; then set
the new size. Using the PBBS n command with n equal to the current size will renumber
the messages in the mailbox beginning with message number 1. If n is a different size,
the messages will not be renumbered. This command causes a soft reset if n is different
from its previous value.
Note: To change the value of PBBS you must enter the whole command name (PBBS),
but to see the current value, you only need enter the short-form PB.

PBFORWRD [bbscall [VIA call1,call2,...call8] ] [EVERY | AFTER n]
default NONE EVERY 0
This command will cause your PBBS to attempt to initiate a forward of any eligible mail
to another BBS periodically. Any message in your PBBS which contains an @BBS field
and is not being HELD (H) or has not previously been FORWARDED (F) is eligible for
forwarding. If the keyword ―EVERY‖ is used, the PBBS will attempt to forward once
every n hours. If you specify the keyword ―AFTER‖, the PBBS will attempt to forward
whenever a user disconnects from the PBBS, and every n hours after that. Setting the
time interval will cause the PBBS to attempt to forward immediately.
