   Hello Martin,   
      
    MF> Here's the simple warning I'd already added to the guide:   
      
    MF> ---------- 8< ---------- WARNING: You are now in the domain field, which   
    MF> is pre-configured to "fidonet". Although it's OK to change this to   
    MF> something else, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD EMPTY. If this field is empty,   
    MF> you may encounter problems when polling your BossNode! ---------- 8<   
    MF> ----------   
      
    MF> All uppercase words are in bold/red.   
      
   That is excellent.  Maybe put "may" in bold and red too.     
      
   So.. the 5D spec doesn't care what text goes there?  Can it be "this cannot be   
   empty" ?   
      
   The warning is most certainly critical.  I can see new user cleaning out that   
   field and never suspect why a connection never succeeds.
