    And what about this?

    I think it is a good rule, Fidonet traditionally is real names only, so the sysop field should contain the real name of the sysop. First name and last name. But where did you find that rule?

    except the keyword 'UUCP'.

    I wonder if that has still any use...

    Yes, I think it should. Fortunately a useless modem flag is just useless, it does no harm except take a few bytes extra which in this day and age is not really an issue. Same goes for MO, CM and file req flags for a Pvt node.


    Cheers, Michiel

    I read this in the z2pnt title when I wrote https://brorabbit.g0x.ru/files/perl/npk.zip (pnt list maker). Then I just copied all the checks to https://brorabbit.g0x.ru/files/perl/nlerr.pl, which checks the nodelist.
    I suppose this is Ward's decision made on 06/02/2009.

    except the keyword 'UUCP'.

    [17:05:45 brorabbit]$ grep -c UUCP ~/nodelist/nodelist.367

    Have a nice night.
