Nope. Never said that. It would be 'dirty' to add that kind of hackery to
Linux which allows an application answer on the same callsign that is used
for the two NET/ROM 'entities' to talk to each other. In linux that would
be the callsign used for the first nrports entry (== the one shown with
"ifconfig nr0").

Actually Linux allows you to do that but you _SHOULD_NOT_ do that unless
you are completely aware of the consequences.

The way around this is the "dummy node" setup well explained on John's web
page.
