Its design reduced the number of necessary transactions, which proves its convenience on high latency links, or in situations where radio/modem turnaround is particularly expensive (half-duplex links). anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:40:18 +0000 https://www.f4hof.net/doku.php/b2f:b2f?rev=1741542363&do=diff Open B2F This specification describes the transfer of messages between Winlink Radio Mail Server (RMS) gateway stations and Winlink compatible user terminal programs (WL2K clients). When connected with a non-Winlink client or another MBO (Non-Participating Mail Box Operator) that is not a Winlink RMS, messages will be forwarded using the current FBB protocol. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Sun, 09 Mar 2025 17:46:03 +0000 https://www.f4hof.net/doku.php/b2f:bcf_v0?rev=1739529926&do=diff Binary Compressed Forward Version 0 The compressed version of the protocol is an extension to the ASCII Basic Protocol. * Compressed forward availability is reported by the letter B in the SID extensions field. * As it is an extension of the basic protocol, the SID extension field MUST also advertise the anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 14 Feb 2025 10:45:26 +0000 https://www.f4hof.net/doku.php/b2f:bcf_v1?rev=1739545401&do=diff Binary Compressed Forward Version 1 This protocol version is an extension to both the ASCII Basic Protocol and the Binary Compressed Forward Version 0.
