Hello mark!

Yes..  Very nice. Thank you.

I found the same info myself a few minutes after my initial post.

Suggestion.. The nodelist should have the "FTS-5001.006" source
reference specifically mentioned, and a reference to the website.

That would help demystify the Fidonet-of-Things(tm).  ;)

Over time, I have found that the extra comments in the nodelist very
educational.  It almost looks like a user-manual.

Back on topic..  so there are only six "Xx" flags?

Do you have any insight on why there is a gap from XC to XR, and why not
just carry on with XD, XE, XF, XG, etc?

BTW..  Sometimes, I find there are discrepancies in what the nodelist
says, and what the system on the other end reports.  :(
