   Hello mark!   
      
   Yes..  Very nice. Thank you.   
      
   I found the same info myself a few minutes after my initial post.   
      
   Suggestion.. The nodelist should have the "FTS-5001.006" source   
   reference specifically mentioned, and a reference to the website.   
      
   That would help demystify the Fidonet-of-Things(tm).  ;)   
      
   Over time, I have found that the extra comments in the nodelist very   
   educational.  It almost looks like a user-manual.   
      
   Back on topic..  so there are only six "Xx" flags?   
      
   Do you have any insight on why there is a gap from XC to XR, and why not   
   just carry on with XD, XE, XF, XG, etc?   
      
   BTW..  Sometimes, I find there are discrepancies in what the nodelist   
   says, and what the system on the other end reports.  :(
