Binkley versions before 2.60 only supports YooHoo as it's highest
protocol. Opus BBS still only supports YooHoo. Fido BBS v12 only
supports YooHoo. (Previous versions only supported FTS-1.) TBBS's
TIMS only supports YooHoo.

XBBS does YooHoo as it's highest protocol, but not ZedZap, ZedZip,
Janus, etc; only DietIFNA. (SEAlink in a YooHoo session) If you
don't have support for this, what will occur I suppose is a
fallback to FTS-1 type sessions.

Also, I do recall systems running under SEAMail who wouldn't even
do Yoohoo sessions, they would use they would use SEALink in a
session that IIRC is like FTS-1; as detailed in FTS-7, and Bark
f'reqs as per FTS-8.

Incidentally, support for FTS-1 sessions, the basic protocol, is
*required* for FidoNet nodes, according to network policy. If your
mailer doesn't support FTS-1, it's unsuitable for usage on a node
in FidoNet.
