Hi Jan,
cc>> Nodes which have multiple contact addresses simply have multiple
cc>> listings, same as multi-node BBSs had before, and for pretty much
cc>> the same reasons.
JV> Sending direct mail in reply to a message can become
JV> cumbersome if you write from your email only address and
JV> and I have only PSTN. I need to look up your PSTN number in
JV> the nodelist before I can even start to write my message to
JV> you or change the address later when finding out that it
JV> never left my system because of incombatible access modes.
Right. Pity so few people seem to understand that.
JV> How will this help me: I have a PSTN, ISDN and ADSL. I
JV> can use the phone field either for the PSTN and ISDN number
JV> as they are the same, or for the ADSL ip number. I want no
JV> second node number if I can avoid it, not because I do not
JV> like braids on my jacket, but because I think it is bad
JV> service for those who want to contact me.
JV> After all that is what a node number is for: help them
JV> contact you.
Right. A pity so few people seem to understand that.
