- These are the flags used in the FLAG field under Auto Point's
- Editing Environment.
-
-
- The following flags define special operating conditions:
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- CM Node accepts mail 24 hours a day
- MO Node does not accept human callers
- LO Node accepts calls Only from Listed
- FidoNet addresses
-
-
- The following flags define modem capabilities supported:
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- V21 CCITT V21 300 bps full duplex
- V22 CCITT V22 1200 bps full duplex
- V29 CCITT V29 9600 bps half duplex
- V32 CCITT V32 9600 bps full duplex
- V32b CCITT V32bis 14400 bps full duplex
- V33 CCITT V33
- V34 CCITT V34
- V42 LAP-M error correction w/fallback to MNP
- V42b CCITT V42bis
- MNP Microcom Networking Protocol error correction
-
- H96 Hayes V9600
- HST USR Courier HST
- MAX Microcom AX/96xx series
- PEP Packet Ensemble Protocol
- CSP Compucom Speedmodem
-
- NOTE: Many V22 modems also support Bell 212A.
-
- If no modem flag is given, Bell 212A is assumed for 1200 bps
- systems, CCITT V22bis is assumed for 2400 bps systems.
-
- Aseparate modem capability flag should not be used when it can be
- determined by the modem flag. For instance, a modem flag of HST
- implies MNP. V32b implies V32 and V42b implies V42. MNP,HST and
- V32,V32b and V42,V42b flag pairs are unnecessary.
-
-
- The following flags define the type(s) of compression of mail
- packets supported.
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- MN No compression supported
-
- NOTE: The only compression method standard in
- FidoNet is archiving, using the standard SEA ARC
- format, with archive names defined by the
- specification for ARCMail 0.6. The absence of the
- MN flag indicates that ARCMail 0.6 compression is
- supported by this node.
-
-
- The following flags indicate the types of file/update requests
- supported.

- The following flag defines gateways to other domains (networks).
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- Gx..x Gateway to domain 'x..x', where 'x..x` is a string
- of alphanumeric characters. Valid values for 'x..x'
- are assigned by the FidoNet International
- Coordinator. This flag is not authorized for use by
- any node unless specifically authorized by the IC or
- FidoNet Inter-Network Coordinator. Registered
- domain gateways include:
- uucp to be used only by nodes in a list of
- authorized fidonet.org sites available at
- 1:1/31.
-
-
- The following flags define the dedicated mail periods supported.
- They have the form "#nn" or !nn where nn is the UTC hour the mail
- period begins, # indicates Bell 212A compatibility, and !
- indicates incompatibility with Bell 212A.
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- #01 Zone 5 mail hour (01:00 - 02:00 UTC)
- #02 Zone 2 mail hour (02:30 - 03:30 UTC)
- #08 Zone 4 mail hour (08:00 - 09:00 UTC)
- #09 Zone 1 mail hour (09:00 - 10:00 UTC)
- #18 Zone 3 mail hour (18:00 - 19:00 UTC)
- #20 Zone 6 mail hour (20:00 - 21:00 UTC)
-
- NOTE: When applicable, the mail period flags may
- be strung together with no intervening commas, eg.
- "#02#09". Only mail hours other than that standard
- within a node's zone should be given. Since
- observance of mail hour within one's zone is
- mandatory, it should not be indicated.
-
-
- The following flag defines user-specific values. If present, this
- flag MUST be the last flag present in a nodelist entry.
-
- Flag Meaning
-
- Ux..x A user-specified string, which may contain any
- alphanumeric character except blanks. This string
- may contain one to thirty-two characters of
- information that may be used to add user-defined
- data to a specific nodelist entry. The character "U"
- should NOT be repeated, eg, "UXXX,YYY" not "UXXX,UYYY".
-
- This flag is NOT to be used for advertisements, or
- non-essential information. If you have questions
- concerning the use of this flag, please contact your
- Regional Coordinator, or request the file USERFLAG.
