tk>> What would be the easiest way to make FD to call to a

 tk>> Vmodem/SIO needs the port number after the host name, separated
 tk>> by _space_. I cannot find a correct format of PHONE statement in
 tk>> FDNODE.CTL. The space character seems to be the problem now.

 tk>> I can make a private nodelist with phone entry that contains the

 tk>> easy way. :)

 JH> If you cannot get this to work, let me know and I'll compile a

That would be the easiest way, or course. :)

 JH> Many functions in FD exist and/or behave the way they do for a
 JH> reason. If you read the documentation from top to bottom (I'm not
 JH> asking you to :)), you'll see there are a *lot* of flexibility and
 JH> configuration options. That is not to say that things are not
 JH> missing.

Support for INA flags would be also nice. In that case FD could dial IP
nodes without any special configuration.

 JH> Things are missing. And they will be addressed. That is why I'm here.

:D
