A new version of ERRFLAGS.ZC2 has been released via file distribution.
Changes include dealing with the new userflags AFS, HDG and MOB.
For description and how to include, I refer to FIDONEWS of today.

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,-Unpublished-,300,U,AFS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,-Unpublished-,300,U,HDG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,-Unpublished-,300,U,MOB

cool then
but what so on tablets and chromebooks ? :(
what is the plan from google api side of it ?
will guess, an app that is called virtual modem that connect to other devices in the same google account ?, then a real mobil phone can be used as a vmodem in chromebook ....
