I think you will find that FBB actions White Pages Updates database
as Personal Messages to the WP process running at their partner systems
SP WP @ (Remote BBS)
all WP as Bulletins are deleted from the network in our reject.sys
files.
Not as you have detailed below. Or the newer system are interpreting
the White Pages database update
Yes the FBB servers note the entries in the R:LINES as the Bulletins and
SP message pass around the network normally as Guessing G
I think...
No doubt and expert in the original WhitePages Database processing has
further comments, re the current implementations.
