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.
