   ZC4's segments would still be processed correctly to the rest of Fidonet. It    
   would only affect the full nodelists given back to zone 4 after they're fully    
   processed and the new features have been implemented.   
      
   How many systems would it affect, honestly?   
      
   I've tried telnetting to every one of those zone 4 BBS systems as well as    
   trying to telnet to their binkp ports (knowing that they're all listed as    
   ICM, not getting a response from any of them wasn't very surprising) only to    
   find one available most of the time, and that's the ZC. He's been around as    
   well, so having him switch probably wouldn't be that hard, would it?   
      
   I guess I'm just not really understanding the huge delay we've had in trying    
   to implement something as trivial as this. YMMV.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
