Dzjieses Kreist ... you are one hell of a person able to twist one's words,
that doesn't mean your doing a good job at it and I find it pityfull I now
need to crosspost verbatim from another echo because most likely only a
handful of people take enough interest to notice what goes on there ...
 
This is what Nick Andre wrote....

 Therefore, it will attempt to dial out and call whatever is in the phone
 number field of the nodelist. String or numeric, it will send that off to
 whatever is defined as the modem device.

The keyword is 'whatever'.
 
With this information in hand I wrote what I wrote here but also querried
Nick about this, just to be on the safe-side ... and he backtracked on the
'whatever':

:) Actually no, -Unlisted- and -Unpublished- will not cause a dialout.

Thank you for cooking-up whatever you published here by mis-representing
the timeline of the discussion in the DBRIDGE-echo.
