Good ${greeting_time}, Richard!

The "system name" field may contain almost anything.

Yes: for an IP-only node it means exactly the same, being one byte shorter :-)

ICM was introduced to mark nodes with limited POTS working time, but always available via IP. With "-Unpublished-" instead of POTS number, ICM may (and normally should) be replaced with CM.

So you need IBN and INA flags. Simply take the example above and change the system name field to whatever you like.
