    tk>> What would be the easiest way to make FD to call to a   
    tk>> non-standard telnet port with vmodem/sio on os/2 system?   
    tk>> Vmodem/SIO needs the port number after the host name, separated   
    tk>> by _space_. I cannot find a correct format of PHONE statement in   
    tk>> FDNODE.CTL. The space character seems to be the problem now.   
      
    tk>> I can make a private nodelist with phone entry that contains the   
    tk>> space character. That way FD dials out ok. But that is not very   
    tk>> easy way. :)   
      
    JH> If you cannot get this to work, let me know and I'll compile a   
    JH> version which translates a given character (% perhaps) to spaces.   
      
   That would be the easiest way, or course. :)   
      
    JH> Many functions in FD exist and/or behave the way they do for a   
    JH> reason. If you read the documentation from top to bottom (I'm not   
    JH> asking you to :)), you'll see there are a *lot* of flexibility and   
    JH> configuration options. That is not to say that things are not   
    JH> missing.   
      
   Support for INA flags would be also nice. In that case FD could dial IP nodes   
   without any special configuration.   
      
    JH> Things are missing. And they will be addressed. That is why I'm here.   
      
   :D
