Which nets use that?  I hear this now and again, though no one ever
documents that (that I've seen).  In any event it may not cause any
problems at all. When you're dealing with binkp it won't cause problems
(7:*{at}fidonet.org), and when you are dealing with telephone connections via
modem, I would think Russians would have run into this already.

I also have a feeling that if there were other nets using Z7, they may be
more dead than fidonet :)

Take care,
Janis
