Quoting mark lewis on Thu 19 Dec 2002 21:51 to Jan Vermeulen:
ml> oooooo... question for you...
Let's see what help you can get from me...
ml> the PING and Tyz flags appear in the Z2 prolog _under_ the
ml> "approved user flags" heading... does this mean that they are only
ml> U,ser flags and not normal flags in Z2?
The PING and Tyz flags appear in the Z2 prolog:
_below_ the "user flag" definition
but _above_ the "approved user flags" heading
Thusly they're not user flags.
That was an easy one, was it not?
ml> i also note that the Z2 prolog doesn't state that the IEM flag is
ml> depricated like FTS-5001 states... i've not noted the IEM flag used
ml> in Z2 but do note the EMA flag appearing to be used in the same
ml> type vein as IEM...
Z2 has nearly one hundred IEM flags flying, even the ZC himself. If you
have a problem with that, please ask Ward.
ml> additionally, i personally note that V42B does not imply V42
ml> capability... one is error correction and the other is data
ml> compression and neither relies on the other or implies the other...
ml> does Z2 view them differently? if so, why?
As far as I know, that relation has been in the nodelist for at least 10
years so I assume there is a good reson for that.
Maybe because modems were marketed that way?
ml> FWIW: yes, i'm working on a nodelist analysis util...
With what purpose beyond fun?
