27-Mar-07: Winlink brings a robust messaging infrastructure to the Packet community with the intent to support emergency communications.  Outpost will implement client support with Winlink access by Telpac using a terminal-based connection approach.  Forwarding (supports a more rich set of features) is not implemented in Outpost.

http://www.winlink.org/B2F.htm

IMPLEMENTATION
SID = [WL2K-3.1.2-B2FIHM$]
Outpost looks for the "[WL2K" phrase of the SID as the means for identifying this BBS.  Prompts will automatically be identified by Outpost at connect time.

CONFIRMATION
Confirmed as part of the v2.2 Release.

CONSIDERATIONS

1.  Attachments.  This implementation does not support attachments of any kind.  Outpost is merely emulating the manual keystrokes that you would perform if sitting in front of a terminal mode program.  Winlink does not pass attachments typically found in internet mail programs to Telpac.

SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS, SETTINGS

None.

CMS Example:  The following is a typical listing presented by a dorect connect to a Winlink CMS node by telnet could be seen by Outpost.
