    MvdV> 1) It occasionally crashes when a specific node or some specific   
    MvdV> nodes call in. Roy can confirm that, as his system used to crash   
    MvdV> when I called him.   
      
   I think that was an earlier version, since it hasn't happened since the   
   time your log-in here crashed the system.   
      
    MvdV> 2) When entering a new node in the node manager it reads the   
    MvdV> nodelist, But it only finds the host name if it is in the system   
    MvdV> name field. It does not find it when the host name is a parameter   
    MvdV> after the protocol flag or the INA flag.   
      
   Correct.   
      
    MvdV> 3) A parameter after a protocol flag is always interpreted as a   
    MvdV> port number. Even if it clearly is not.   
      
    MvdV> 4) When no host name is in the system name field, it will try the   
    MvdV> f.n.z.fidonet.net method. This is not overridable and the domain is   
    MvdV> not configurable.   
      
   It can be user (sysop) written in binkp to use anything but the   
   fnz.fidonet.net addressing system.   
      
    MvdV> 5) When the nodelist is updated, it will not update the data in the   
    MvdV> node manager. This is particularly annoying when a host name or IP   
    MvdV> address changes. 6) It will not send an attached file when the   
    MvdV> crash bit of the message is set, unless the message is empty.   
      
    MvdV> 7) When evaluating the Tzy flags, it uses local time instead of   
    MvdV> UTC.   
      
    MvdV> 8) No IPv6

   Same here.
