Re: Submission?

Ok, new to the echo. Lets see if this works <g>.

Hi y'all!

There's a new flag that has been proposed which I think we can all use. It's the RVIA flag. Now the author intended to use it as a regular flag but I'm looking and as a 'comment' flag, that works without breaking anything.

What is it? It's a 'Route Via' flag. It's use in R13 for now will be to show an alternate 'route' for those nodes who get their main feed from outside their local net. This does NOT mean a node can abandon contacting their listed hub/NC for netmail. It will only be used if your NC/hub goes down and no other path to reach you is known.

A sysop may also chose to use this information to direct specific routing to that node with the RVIA listing, if they so wish but no one is required to do so. The NC/hub specifically is NOT required to use it under any circumstances.

A sysop may have only 1 RVIA listing. Use for now in R13 will be: ,U,RVIA:#.###.###

For example: ,U,RVIA:1:2613/404

Which will mean that node draws from 1:2613/404 direct for echomail and that their uplink passes netmail to them, if it arrives at their site.

This listing is allowed for net feed sites, but is intended primarily for end nodes.

Grin, in R13, go-fur-it!

All I can say is that these "number of people" did not try very hard

Update: Use http://www.uspto.gov/web/menu/tm.html Select TESS, then Basic, then enter fidonet in the search field.

This came up as a result of a search of FidoNet at U.S. Trademark Electronic Search System. And here is what it says:

The "Hold" is gone and Steven is still in the new nodelist.

I want to thank all nodes and points in the USA, Canada, Germany, Belgium and the rest of FidoWorld for supporting Steven to become a "normal" Node again.
