   Hello Martin!   
      
    MF> Not really because the whole idea of SysOp Mode is to allow   
    MF> a Node to use OpenXP as a message reader/editor AND to use   
    MF> their Node address instead of the more usual Point address.   
      
   Calling it sysop mode seems like a degrade, when I would think     
   that sysop mode would be something greater.   
      
   So, sysop mode scales down the functionality of OpenXp to being     
   just a reader/editor, while providing a full node (z:nnn.fff)     
   identity.   
      
   I was just thinking that if OpenXP can operate as a full node     
   locally, then why not have the ability to operate that node live     
   and connect with other nodes since it can do the connections and     
   transfers as a point.
