 O>> Which part of it? Which PKT formats are used by your system? Please
 O>> point to the FTSs that describe these formats.

 NA> As per FTS-0001.016. Application B section 1 - Message storage. Section 2
 NA> - Schedules and events, specifically ZMH as I have a dialup modem line.

 NA> Application C - Presentation Layer section 1. Compatible packed message.

 NA> Application D - Session layer. All sections. All specification supported

 NA> Application F - Network layer. All sections. Everything supported here.

 NA> Application G - Data Link Layer. All sections. Everything accepted here.

 NA> Several more FTS's supported here not to mention EMSI which was invented
 NA> by both Joaquim Homrighausen and the original D'Bridge author. But I

 NA> protocol specs so this system really is both a "true" hybrid dialup and
 NA> Internet system.

 NA> That was done with the help of Ward Dossche... the guy whom I was told
 NA> horror stories about and was called every name in the book, but has

 NA> So you may connect here using BinkD or make an international dialup modem

 NA> that was being done over a VOIP setup at the time.

 NA> Now the troll says what?

After starting with an answer for the first question, which transformed into
raving about various ZCs in various ways, your mail suddenly  stops here.

Are you intentionally avoiding the other questions?
Or do you have a short attention span and cannot resist the immediate urge to
babble about the cool dude you think you are and how others suck?

Did you understand the questions from the previous mails?
