   But we should agree in fidonet on the default/preferred port to use! So it   
   doesn't have to be specified in the nodelist if you use the default.   
   (24553 is unassigned by IANA)

   Not everyone's dns "interface" is able to set this I think.   
      
    Ol> - Nodelist flag (INBS?)   
      
   You mean IBNS: ? Most flags seem to be a 3 letter combination, so maybe use:   
   IBS: ?   
      
    Ol> - should we allow self-signed certificates? (yes)   
      
   With the existence of letsencrypt it's not really necessary. But I think it's   
   up to the individuals. As 'client' you should decide for yourself if you   
   really want to connect to a server with a selfsigned certificate.   
      
    Ol> - which TLS version are allowed? (>= TLS v1.3)   
      
   I think we should follow common practice on the "wider" internet...   
      
    Ol> - should the client use alpn?   
      
   If necessary. ;)   
      
   But I have access to a lot of linux machines, older and newer. But none of the   
   openssl and ncat versions I checked seem to support it...?   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
