Hi David,

thanks for the info.
I'm going to test unode at iw2ohx.ampr.org (telnet iw2ohx.ampr.org).
I searched for years a replacement of node. A part security issues, I had
problem with process node that sometimes eat a lot of CPU expecially 
when someone
doesn't close connection with "B" command. I hope this problem was fixed 
in Unode.

I appreciated flexd implementation, I teste it years ago with AWZNode.

I hope to post feedback here after configuring unode in my ham linux box.

Bye
Marco
