How do these flags help connecting systems? Why do these systems need to be
identified at all in the nodelist? If they area full fledged nodes, there would
be no need for a flag...

Why do we need 3 seperate flags for this?

If we are going to create flags for every piece of software used in fidonet...
Well good luck with that... (Can I reserve ,FML for FMail?)

Bye, Wilfred.
