Preferred by whom? Preferred by you perhaps.

Mine does. And mine isn't the only one having problems. The world of
FidoNet is bigger than the world of FrontDoor.

Only when supplemented with an emulator programme that fools it into
thinking it is dialling up via classic modem.

But it doesn't fly the ITN flag, and Frontdoor can't do Binkp, so you have
no argument.

It is supposed to supply useful information about the system's physical
location. "IP" is uninformative.
