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 —at least for me—
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 —let's say— 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 —and thus lack a
definitive proof— 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.
