Charles had asked about this, perhaps useful to some of you.

 15Nov2025, forward.c - fallback connection in case primary fails, note the
  new ALT directive in the example 'spool/forward.bbs' entry below. If JNOS
  fails to connect over the vhf port, then it will try to use a wormhole :

    ---------
    ve4pkt
    c vhf ve4pkt ALT c ax0 ve4pkt-1
    ve4pkt
    ww
    --------

Or looking at the BPQ example, it looked like the emphasis was if you can't
connect direct, then try using a digipeater instead, something like this ?

    c vhf ve4pkt ALT c vhf ve4pkt digi1 ... digiN

Just the one source file, in the development REPO, sorry I have not done
a great job with the house keeping and documentation.
