Minor point - when I run the "bulletin" control state shown in the example 1 = rptena,lnkena,apdis,totdis,ufena,noice ; Net and news operation I got two things that I did not expect: 1) It still plays the timeout message, but of course it does not actually time out and stop transmitting 2) A user was able to connect (on echolink) - is this considered an "incoming connection"?
