subject: Nodelist speed fields & flags

My opinion is that the baud rate entry in the nodelist is a better system for 
determining speed etc than the baud rate.

The baud rate can instantly be used to make time estimates like Portal of 
Power does. And for when people read nodelists (I do it often to find out 
things about nodes) I don't know what a HST or a V22T is, but I know what 9600
and 2400 are instantly.

What's the problem with having more than 12 definitions?

If you're developing a v8 style nodelist, go for it. :)
