the major fault on the matter is the freedom left
to incapable operators to permit to manipulate the
forwarding prompt, or better the texts before the
prompt, when the PBBSs act as forwarders.
So, the many PBBS running at I0OJJ strictly release
the following forwarding prompts:
[JNOS-2.0m-uro-B1FHIM$]
>
[OpenBCM-1.08-3-g9b42-AB1D1FHMRW$]
>
[FBB-7.0.8-AB1FHMRX$]
I0OJJ Mailbox, QTH Rome
(1) I0OJJ BBS>
and no problems.
Also the latest versions of linbpq, as the previous,
when no defaced by stupid welcome messages results
almost simple as shown below:

The problem of empty lines before and after the prompt
has already been reported to the author John G8BPQ
yesterday.
Then, no problem, or it is a false problem when
forwarding protocol initiation is 'FC EM ...'
because it is referred almost exclusively when
we are with the 'B2F' protocol (that used on the
Winlink 2000 environment), so remaining on BPQ
software it is correctly used when connect the
WL2K CMS. And then it is impossible the fact
that when the PBBS contacted show a SID as
[B1FHIM$] the other propose a line FC EM ... !
Instead uses the correct forwarding protocol
as shown below.
Hope everything is clear understandable :)
