    * Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

    We have that here too ...

    * Carlsbad Caverns

    Heard about it ...

    * A sysop who will buy you a few beers :)

    But 'now' you're talking .... just need to find $1500 to
    fly there ... :-)


    If this happens, give me a heads up as I would like to meet others from fidonet.

    Torsten,

    Aha... have _you_ ever done something tecnical represantive for fido?

    How 'bout some 18 years ago when your fellow-citizen and ex-R24 node Helmut Hullen sued me, as ZC, over his removal from the nodelist and it became a fully-fledged court-case for which I needed to appear 4 times in front of a judge and where P4 was tested in a legal framework?

    You were in the nodelist at the time, it was heavily debated in R24 no doubt. How was that for representation ? Did you contribute?

    * Introducing INA against the express wishes of Michiel
    I'm not sure why it was introduced at the time. Maybe there
    were good reason, but nowadays it's mostly useless and could
    be deprecated for simplification.
    It was a stupid and worthless flag idea from day one. We still
    don't know of any FTN software that makes any use of it,

    binkd.
    Or, more exactly, its' nodelist parser module (written in perl).

    so it should never have been included in FTS-5001.

    FOAD.

    % egrep -c ',IBN' ~/fido/etc/nodelist.ndl
    1080
    % egrep -v ,INA: ~/fido/etc/nodelist.ndl | egrep -c ',IBN'
    168
    % echo 1080-168 | bc
    912

    That means, out of all nodes with declared binkp capability:
    * 912 do use INA and
    * 168 don't.

    Maybe you should tell him for getting a nodenumber in a net he should

    He has a feed with Andrew for FTSC which was what was asked. He's probably fine with Mark lewis too but would not know directly as he doesn't connect here.

    if ozz wants/needs a regional independent node number, he may contact me... otherwise, if he is in florida, he should be in contact with the NC for florida, eric renfro, 1:135/0...

    Alexey,

    We (here in R50) could use it, but the others would unlikely be able to read it... Also, there once was a Z6 :-)

    You mean Z7 ?

    Who cares if people cannot read it. Isn't the purpose for it to be machine readable and to facilitate mailer calls ?

    * I also wish some of the Russian sysops would remind me in a timely AV>WD> manner of the annual impromptu beer-meeting in a Moscow park.

    Next would be 2020-03-28 in a beer pub at 55.7424 N 37.6523 E :-)

    I could make it ... with a little help ...

    s/Implement/Introduce/ ?

    Yes, you're right.

    * Adding a CRC in REGION-segments where one is missing or incorrect AV>WD> prior to processing

    Generally, you had to check them first...

    There are segments arriving without CRC or with a bad CRC. If that's the case the system computes the correct CRC qnd inserts.

    No: Z6. With hieroglyphs.

    Once that's the case, who cares of 26-letters limit for the text fields?

    You are welcome.

    There are segments arriving without CRC or with a bad CRC.

    When the checksum is bad, you have to check whether the contents weren't damaged.

    If that's the case the system computes the correct CRC qnd inserts.

    I'd prefer these files to be properly signed...

    probably fine with Mark lewis too but would not know directly as he
    doesn't connect here.

    Just so everybody's aware ... 3 weeks later there still is no nodenumber for Ozz and the zone-independant 1:1/123 with which he's listed does not function, not even after his symbolic DNS-address in it had been updated.

    Who cares? The node is either capable of receiving incoming connections or leaving the nodelist in a month (2 weeks with "Hold" prefix, 2 weeks with "Down", then deleted).

    Thinking seems to be a heavy task for you... Otherwise you'd perform the development and testing in a separate dedicated environment.

    Who cares of that? Listed node _must_ (as in FTA-1006) accept incoming connections from outer world.

    You'd rather become a sysop (of a running node) first.

    And BTW i agree with what he said ... but one could phrase it a little nicer. But using a life network for testing purposes is NOT a good idea.
    Actually it is a VERY, VERY BAD idea!
