       AL> The default for MINphone will be changed to 1 in 3.3.2. This        AL> should effectively disable the check, because it will pass the line        AL> as long as there is at least 1 digit in the phone number field.         AL> Nodelist entries with no digits in the phone number field are        AL> errors, and should be flagged as such, with the only exception        AL> being -Unpublished- for Pvt, Hold, or Down nodes.              isn't "-Unpublished-" also decoupled from those verbs so that it can be used       without them?              one of the goals is (was?) for entries like this              Pvt,50,Haven's_Terminus,Haven_NC_USA,Max_Haven,-Unpublished-,300,XA,IBN:foo.com              to become entries like this              ,50,Haven's_Terminus,Haven_NC_USA,Max_Haven,-Unpublished-,300,XA,IBN:foo.com              indicating ION without unnecessarily blocking dual-mode or other ION systems       or forcing them to use an override to get around "Pvt" in the first field...       IIRC, POTS Only systems won't dial with "-Unpublished-" in field 6 whether       field one contains anything or not...                     )\/(ark              ---         * Origin: (1:3634/12.42)    |
