      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet ee88284e       REPLY: 2:310/31.3@fidonet ee8a22d0       PID: OpenXP/5.0.49 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       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.                     --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
