That would be the easiest way, or course. :)
JH> Many functions in FD exist and/or behave the way they do for a

Support for INA flags would be also nice. In that case FD could dial IP nodes
without any special configuration.
JH> Things are missing. And they will be addressed. That is why I'm here.
