"FTSC Product Codes", http://ftsc.org/docs/fta-1005.003, says:

    FidoNet products without an allocated product code which either
    create type-2 packets, or negotiate FTS-0001 sessions must use a
    product code x'fe or 254 in type-2 compatible packet headers. This
    code as been reserved for that purpose (use by product without a
    product code).

Can you give me an url to a newer spec saying 0x01ff?
