   which type2 packet format do you use? there is a position for the FTN domain   
   in the header of one of the three...

   yes... exactly... the point address is needed in the TOPT and/or FMPT control   
   lines and may also be used in the packet header in certain packet formats...

   likely because you aren't involved in any other networks than fidonet ;)

   very true...
