Considering the nodelist can only contain speeds up to 9600 (yes, I know Zone 1

does it's own thing ;-) ), the other modem flags are far more useful for that.

I also need to seperate calls according to the receivers capability (ISDN, V34,

V32, etc.) and I do it with those flags.


Be lucky,

Neil
