[fbb] 300 bd HF

In some parts of Australia there are no Pactor BBSs. To get around this
I would like to switch my PTCII to 300bd packet to forward on the 300bd
HF network.
 Has anyone done this with FBB ?

  In Queensland there are no amateur radio HF BBSs at all. There are
only internet BBSs. 
But then they are VK4s !

  On another matter I am trying to use the Pactor II ZL2ARN gateway to
forward to ZL2WA.
It has been working quite successfully. However I can't make the forward
script work correctly.  The problem is centred around the "S" command in
the forward file.

  I have tried the following

  S Connected Failure reconnected

  My question is this; What is the S cmd supposed to do if it gets
"Failure" or "reconnected" ?

  Does it look in the incoming line for the test words anywhere in the
line or only in particular positions ?

  I can't get a disconnect if it sees either "failure" or "reconnected".

  It makes no difference whether I have the S command there or not. It
still hangs up until it times out.
