   unfortunately, you can only see what PKTs your links send you... with   
   echomail, each link creates new PKTs as the echo messages are packed for   
   others... so you can't see what PKT format li'l mickey sent out unless you get   
   one directly from him...   
      
    AI> Is that different than fts-0001.016?   
      
   yes, very...   
   FTS-0001 is PKT 2[.0]...   
   FSC-0039 is PKT 2+   
   FSC-0045 is PKT 2.2...   
   FSC-0048 refines FSC-0039 and clarifies some aspects...   
      
   2[.0] does not do points or domains...   
   2+ does not do domains...
