FidoNet products without an allocated product code which either create Type-2 packets, or negotiate FTS-0001 sessions must use a product code FEh (254d) in Type-2 compatible packet headers. This code as been reserved for that purpose (use by product without a product code).
...
This application should be completed and submitted for only `real' and completed products which will be used by FidoNet systems. If you are currently developing a product which is not yet ready for use on the network out of experimental stage, use product code 0 (zero) which is, by convention, reserved for this purpose.
Shouldn't the application text be updated to suggest the product code FEh which is explicitly reserved for that purpose?
