NetRom: something to re-think and standardize

Hello everyone,

It has been quite some time now since even the latest developments in
packet radio software have stagnated. Consequently â€öat least for meâ€ö
there is nothing left to tinker with, so I have started conducting
some experiments on my own.

Last night, while running final tests between a JNOS2 node and a
inBPQ node, I noticed that there is â€ölet's sayâ€ö only about 10 percent
compatibility between them; in fact, only one out of every ten BPQ
nodes attempted to connect, and even then, the connection was unstable.

Although I haven't had the time to verify this fully â€öand thus lack a
definitive proofâ€ö the same behavior would likely occur if the counter-
part node were an XR node.

These shortcomings do not appear particularly obvious because the vast
majority of nodes connect *exclusively* to nodes of the same type, that
is, BPQ to BPQ, XR to XR, JNOS to JNOS, and so on.

In my opinion, a single, unified standard should be adopted, one that,
if necessary, should be rewritten from scratch.
