       These are the flags used in the FLAG field under Auto Point's
       Editing Environment.


       The following flags define special operating conditions:

               Flag      Meaning

               CM        Node accepts mail 24 hours a day
               MO        Node does not accept human callers
               LO        Node accepts calls Only from Listed
                         FidoNet addresses


       The following flags define modem capabilities supported:

               Flag      Meaning

               V21       CCITT V21      300 bps full duplex
               V22       CCITT V22     1200 bps full duplex
               V29       CCITT V29     9600 bps half duplex
               V32       CCITT V32     9600 bps full duplex
               V32b      CCITT V32bis 14400 bps full duplex
               V33       CCITT V33
               V34       CCITT V34
               V42       LAP-M error correction w/fallback to MNP
               V42b      CCITT V42bis
               MNP       Microcom Networking Protocol error correction

               H96       Hayes V9600
               HST       USR Courier HST
               MAX       Microcom AX/96xx series
               PEP       Packet Ensemble Protocol
               CSP       Compucom Speedmodem

       NOTE: Many V22 modems also support Bell 212A.

       If no modem flag is given,  Bell 212A is assumed for 1200 bps
       systems,  CCITT V22bis is assumed for 2400 bps systems.

       Aseparate modem capability flag should not be used when it can be
       determined by the modem flag.  For instance, a modem flag of HST
       implies MNP. V32b implies V32 and V42b implies V42. MNP,HST and
       V32,V32b and V42,V42b flag pairs are unnecessary.


       The following flags define the type(s) of compression of mail
       packets supported.

               Flag      Meaning

               MN        No compression supported

                         NOTE:  The only compression method standard in
                         FidoNet is archiving,  using the standard SEA ARC
                         format,  with archive names defined by the
                         specification for ARCMail 0.6.  The absence of the
                         MN flag indicates that ARCMail 0.6 compression is
                         supported by this node.


       The following flags indicate the types of file/update requests
       supported.

       The following flag defines gateways to other domains (networks).

               Flag      Meaning

               Gx..x     Gateway to domain 'x..x',  where 'x..x` is a string
                         of alphanumeric characters.  Valid values for 'x..x'
                         are assigned by the FidoNet International
                         Coordinator.  This flag is not authorized for use by
                         any node unless specifically authorized by the IC or
                         FidoNet Inter-Network Coordinator. Registered
                         domain gateways include:
                         uucp     to be used only by nodes in a list of
                                  authorized fidonet.org sites available at
                                  1:1/31.


       The following flags define the dedicated mail periods supported.
       They have the form "#nn" or !nn where nn is the UTC hour the mail
       period begins,  # indicates Bell 212A compatibility,  and !
       indicates incompatibility with Bell 212A.

               Flag      Meaning

               #01       Zone 5 mail hour (01:00 - 02:00 UTC)
               #02       Zone 2 mail hour (02:30 - 03:30 UTC)
               #08       Zone 4 mail hour (08:00 - 09:00 UTC)
               #09       Zone 1 mail hour (09:00 - 10:00 UTC)
               #18       Zone 3 mail hour (18:00 - 19:00 UTC)
               #20       Zone 6 mail hour (20:00 - 21:00 UTC)

                         NOTE:  When applicable,  the mail period flags may
                         be strung together with no intervening commas,  eg.
                         "#02#09".  Only mail hours other than that standard
                         within a node's zone should be given.  Since
                         observance of mail hour within one's zone is
                         mandatory,  it should not be indicated.


       The following flag defines user-specific values. If present,  this
       flag MUST be the last flag present in a nodelist entry.

               Flag      Meaning

               Ux..x     A user-specified string,  which may contain any
                         alphanumeric character except blanks.  This string
                         may contain one to thirty-two characters of
                         information that may be used to add user-defined
                         data to a specific nodelist entry.  The character "U"
                         should NOT be repeated, eg, "UXXX,YYY" not "UXXX,UYYY".

                         This flag is NOT to be used for advertisements, or
                         non-essential information.  If you have questions
                         concerning the use of this flag, please contact your
                         Regional Coordinator, or request the file USERFLAG.
