PACKET CONTROLLER COMMANDS Command List
(FPms Command Continued)
This command may be used to upload messages to another PMS
or human operator as well as a conventional BBS. If the station
connected to by the FPms command is the HOMebbs, the stand-
ard BBS forwarding format will be used for transferring messages,
otherwise the PMS will follow the standard “human”format.
If the FPms command is used to connect to a station which is not
a BBS or PMS capable of receiving PMS messages, or if a for-
warding
protocol
error
occurs,
automatic
disconnection
occurs.
After
