Not even that here, the landline is a DECT handset.
While I have a couple of analogue phone ports, they are currently
unused.
How would you do (or are you doing) to make binkd only poll a
non-CM node at its open hours?
Do you have a non-CM link? Or is this a theoretical problem? ;)
Theoretical. :-)
I think non-CM in combination with IBN, most of the time is an error
in the nodelist. I never found a non-CM + IBN node that was actually
just connectable at ZMH. And it doesn't make sense either.
Besides non-CM nodes, it could be useful for points...
Points that are not CM, should just poll their boss. ;-)
I'm testing this with a CM link (renaming to .HLO just after
tossing, and after packing netmail) and works fine.
Then you are just lucky, because no .?SY files are used, binkd could
just grab the .?LO file, and do it's thing before your scripts rename
them to .HLO...

A non-CM node doesn't have to be a ZMH-only node. As you know, it can carry
the ,Tyz flag. A sysop may not want or need to have her system running 24 hours a day, for whatever reason.

That too is a transition step. The next logical step is cordless VOIP telephones that directly connect via the WiFi mesh network in the
house.

I still have an analog PABX is use, but it is nearing end of life...
We have to save energy. I'm not reading my mails after midnight, why
not put the computer to sleep as well.
The cost of electricity. A computer to host the system can consume more than 100 KWh per month.

I have HP Proliant server fore Fido. It takes about 57.6 kWh per month (with router and switch). It costs for me about 1.6 euro.
It takes EFFORT to configure a binkp system for non CM operation,
If your tosser is Squish, read up on the SCHED, LEAVE, UNLEAVE, and
CHANGE routing commands. RTFM doesn't take much effort <shrug>.
