Yes it is - so it got through. Although its not listed after a U flag.

Also, those systems who have now reverted the system name back to their BBS
or other name have effectively broken current IP ftn software that follows
ftsc standards. ie: the software I use.

There is no longer a single system in those nets that current software can
connect to.

Tell me, which software is using the INA flags to lookup a node address and
connection info?



Cheers,
                Rick
