 ml> oooooo... question for you...

    Let's see what help you can get from me...

 ml> the PING and Tyz flags appear in the Z2 prolog _under_ the
 ml> "approved user flags" heading... does this mean that they are only
 ml> U,ser flags and not normal flags in Z2?

    The PING and Tyz flags appear in the Z2 prolog:
        _below_ the "user flag" definition
    but _above_ the "approved user flags" heading

    Thusly they're not user flags.

    That was an easy one, was it not?

 ml> i also note that the Z2 prolog doesn't state that the IEM flag is
 ml> depricated like FTS-5001 states... i've not noted the IEM flag used
 ml> in Z2 but do note the EMA flag appearing to be used in the same
 ml> type vein as IEM...

    Z2 has nearly one hundred IEM flags flying, even the ZC himself. If you
have a problem with that, please ask Ward.

 ml> additionally, i personally note that V42B does not imply V42
 ml> capability... one is error correction and the other is data
 ml> compression and neither relies on the other or implies the other...
 ml> does Z2 view them differently? if so, why?

    As far as I know, that relation has been in the nodelist for at least
10 years so I assume there is a good reson for that.

    Maybe because modems were marketed that way?

 ml> FWIW: yes, i'm working on a nodelist analysis util...

    With what purpose beyond fun?
