Hiya everyone,
It was suggested to me that this echo would be a great place to start
discussing possible nodelist format changes, and the software which
would utilize them.
I just did a 30 day rescan of the echo, and was returned one message.
If this is due to a pass-thru on my uplink's system, please let me
know what has beed going on the last month or so (in nutshells please).
Some of you are aware that elections are ongoing for new standing
members of the FTSC. Once elected, it is my hope that the new panel
will take a different approach to reaching and applying standards that
can incorporate IP listings, without compromising current PSTN methods.
A lot has been debated regarding flags and fields in the current NL
format, but recent tests have (so far) shown promise for an extended
NL format that make use of ;E(rror) lines, which could be used by
modifying currently developing mailers, and a seg editor to compile it.
I would ask all IP programmers to chime in here on this, and express
their collective thoughts of feasibility. :)
