 What is so crippled on these softwares, that special flags are needed,
 in order to be able to connect to these nodes.

 If the answer is you cannot connect, because mobile devices have no public
 address, the the Pvt tag already covers nodes that cannot be contacted.

 Or are these tags just there as vanity flags, to boast that one is using
 a mobile device.

 I have used my mobile device from Jacobselv to Cape St. Vincente, and I use
 it at home as well for all my reading and writing of Fidonet messages.
 Never is/was special information needed in the Nodelist, to contact me.
 And no extra node with a Pvt tag is needed either.

 Or is this suddenly a different story, because my mobile device does not use
 Android or MacOs?
