Mobile nodes Ward Dossche 2:292/854
There are some beautiful software implementations which make it possible to run a Fidonet node or point on an Android platform, meaning you can even operate a node from certain smartphones. These softwares are "Aftershock" and "HotdogEd".
I have now used "Aftershock" on my mobile point 2:292/854 for quite some time in sometimes very rural conditions. It suited my purpose perfectly and I am encouraging everyone to try it or HotdogEd in a mobile environment.
It is fun, you can now operate a node or a point while on the road without a bunch of other technical gizmos.
There have been a number of discussions about this -- are mobile nodes real nodes or are they points? I decided that when it is clear that a sysop is available to accept greater responsible for his or her actions than a point, there is no reason why such a node cannot be listed in the nodelist.
In the end a sysop is responsible for the actions of his or her users and points and if such a mobile system is listed in the nodelist, it provides a better control mechanism for the administrative tree.
So, as far as I'm concerned and we're dealing with mobile nodes accepting the responsibility of a fully fledged sysop, I say "Welcome to Fidonet".
To identify such mobile nodes, ERRFLAGS has been updated with the addition of new user-flags in the Zone-2 segment, which eventually could be elevated to full flag-status:
[,AFS] A mobile node running an Aftershock implementation on Android
[,HDG] A mobile node running an HotdogEd implementation on Android
[,MOB] A mobile node running an undefined implementation on a mobile device
Proposed listing of such nodes is:
,<node-nr>,<system name>,<location>,<sysop>,-Unpublished-,300,U,AFS or ,<node-nr>,<system name>,<location>,<sysop>,-Unpublished-,300,U,HDG or ,<node-nr>,<system name>,<location>,<sysop>,-Unpublished-,300,U,MOB
