But unnecessesary. The fields for POTS entries is fine.

We only WISH we had that many node in a new. <g>
The rest is insignificant when using newer SW to read/write the info.

Restructured, and it may be that an ESLNL would be a bit larger. It
will require a short enrty for the POTS 1/2, and the expanded enrty
for the IP section... though it will allow merging of data currently
spread over several enrties into a single one (multiple connectivity).
JB> one format dreamt up by Frank Vest an I went like this:
<snip>
Except that this concept would require rearranging the POTS listings
too, thus making people change SW to read it. :( But if that format
is used in the IP section...
