Ärende: Proper nodelist format for Internet-only nodes?
=======================================================
 MvdV>>> Makes sense in the IP age.

 ml>> to a point, i agree with that... on the other hand, depending on
 ml>> the overall service offering, it could be a "problem" in some
 ml>> circumstances...

 MvdV>> What problem could that be?

 ml> telnet server and telnet bbs on the same port ;)

 MvdV> I lost you. I say that having the telnet mailer and the telnet
 MvdV> BBS as different tasks on different port make sense in the IP
 MvdV> age. Nd then you see a problem becaue thet are on the same
 MvdV> port....

"overall service offering"... i cannot put frontdoor on another port and i
cannot move RemoteAccess to another port... my service offerings are limited to
one port and cannot be changed, TTBOMK...

 MvdV>>> Telnet to fido.mbse.eu and you get a BBS. Telnet to the same
 MvdV>>> hostname at port 60177 (As advertised in the nodelist) and you
 MvdV>>> get the well known: **EMSI_REQA77E.

 ml>> right... that denotes a EMSI capable mailer... if they turn off
 ml>> EMSI capabilities, what do you get?

 MvdV>> Depends on the mailer. In the case of MBSE which is a fully
 MvdV>> compatible FTN mailer, it would eventualley fall back to FTS-1.

 ml> true... but what about the cases of binkp capable mailers? :?

 MvdV> What about it? we were discussing the telnet, not binkp.

there is a side topic in your statement about "fall back to FTS-1"...

 MvdV>> Yes, I know. I always thought the MO flag was the odd ball out.

 ml> true... but we also need to stop and look at what was going on back
 ml> then... there weren't really all that many BBS' and the nodelist _was_
 ml> used as a bbs list ;)

 MvdV> And those that used the nodelist as a BBS list, used the MO flag
 MvdV> as an indication that there was no BBS, didn't they?

i've been telling you that no one knows because no one from back then has
deigned to give a factual answer! all anyone has done is port speculation
:roll: :?
