Hello Carol.

Nlmaint and maybe other compilers don't have that technical limitation.
Perhaps its time some people got rid of Makenl, its obviously not up to FTSC
standards.

That kinda number messes with anything that tries to contact it, POTS, IP,
ISDN whatever its all the same result. Node is uncontactable.

Cheers,
