I think it is impossible to do with most existing software. But...

... I think Russel is right: we have only a finite amount of time and so we
have to make choices on how we spend it.

Presently I think it would be a waste of time trying to solve the ZMH
problem. Why? Because I think it is a red herring.

At first I thought the Z7 advocates had a point. But them I realised
creating a Z7 would not solve the problem they claimed exists. Add to that
that several solutions were offered: Region "ZMH", Net level
"ZMH". Flags, etc , etc, but none of these got any serious
response. This lead me to suspect that the alleged ZMH problem was just an
excuse.

If it ever was a problem, it is a problem that is dying out anyway. FidoNet
is slowly shifting from POTS to IP. More and more are shifting to a
permanent connection to the InterNet and so ZMH is no longer an issue for
them.

ZMH is a non problem.  Trying to solve non problems is a waste of time.

Cheers,


Michiel
