Policy belongs everywhere in Fidonet. It is the glue that binds us together.

I see that the Z1C is going to move the IP contact info to the INA flag and
leave the phone number empty. How are those in Z1 running shim kludges
going to cope with that? How many in Z1 will this actually effect?

Why must the whole Fidonet world bow to your personal requirement of
running a POTS mailer as an IP mailer? Isn't it time YOU upgraded to a REAL
IP mailer?
