Hello All,

This one looks odd to me:

,426,Darkrealms,Toronto_ON,Nick_Andre,1-647-847-2083,9600,CM,XX,INA:bbs.darkrealms.ca,IBN

There is a telephone number and a speed > 300, but no modem flags.

The "9600" does not mean much. All nodes in net 229 except for one, show 9600. Almost all in violation of fts-5000.005 that stipulates:


   Systems without a listed PSTN line must use 300, including ISDN
   and IP only nodes.

And how about this one:

Pvt,42,Mystic_Dawn,Jordan_Lake_NC_USA,T_Cook,-Unpublished-,300,XA

Can one send a routed file request?

This isn't the only one. Thre are more examples of Pvt nodes with file request flags.


Cheers, Michiel
