    "document technical practice in FidoNet and other FTN's" was actually
a paraphrase from the FTSC website itself. The actual quote was "document
technical practice in FidoNet, and FidoNet Technology Networks (FTN)."
But I can certainly understand why other networks are not subjects of
discussion.

    How about dual as an option? For my situation dual would be necessary
as I make daily POTS and IP connects. Althouth I know of nodes that are
POTS only and still need to be supported.

 CS> For now, just discussion.  Nothing to worry about.
