feature to:
Read or record transmissions from any Packet station, without any extraneous material;
Read or record transmissions from a PBBS (Packet Bulletin Board System) while another station
is downloading files or messages;
Read or record dialog between two connected Packet stations or two PBBSs during mail for-
warding operations.
The resulting information is free of all headers, frame identifier codes, repeats and improperly-se-
quenced lines. You won't need to edit or manually purge the recorded information.
NOTE:
When using the MBX feature, your station is not part of the protocol handshake be-
tween the originating and receiving stations. If your local conditions (such as noise
busts or interfering packets) collide with the data being transferred between the two
distant stations, you may miss one or more packets and lose one or more lines of
text.

Use the
feature when channel conditions are at their best and the source station originating
