then you're behind the game... we'rer talking about
nodelists from the '80s and '90s... they were absolutely a
thing because i asked back then what those numbers at the
end of the nodelist flags were for... sadly, two system
crashes have lost the information i was sent back then but
they were absolutely a thing for old software...
Fakenets were for points because support for true points was about nonexist
When using the fakenet scheme, it is vitally important to ensure that fakenet numbers do not "escape" out into the rest of the net. Since
many systems could theoretically be using the same dummy network
number, the fakenet addresses are usually stripped or converted by the boss system before messages are sent to the rest of the network."

I found a text capture from Z3C in early '96, volunteering his
service to maintain an approved list for Z3. He hinted that it was
an agreement between the ZCs to do such.
