This is may be translator problem: in my dictionaries "node"
equal "bundle, nodul, cross, unit (of a multidude)" (this is
backward translate from Russian to English). So term "node"
assume "cross of the links", and without few links (more then 1!)
is incorrect. Is this translate right?

"End system" in my opinion "one-link system", as sample
- point of FIDO without AKA (but it have incoming calls and responsible for
his traffic in difference from point).

 DD> A node is a system that is nodelisted.

Yes of course, but it is a FIDONET term.
