I don't understand the question. 2 systems minimum for a Network. The Nodelist model and structure has always seemed a bit overcomplicated to me. I understand the logic behind it, and why it was done that way. But still overly done.

One.

Would one system qualify as a network?

There was no requirement of a network. Just "nodelist" and "operate properly".

Just one is enough. :)

The question specifically asked the minimum required to implement the nodelist to operate correctly.

One only needs to install a mailer and compile a nodelist.

The nodelist itself can even have just one entry and since that would most likely be the Zone definition, that one system "is" the network.

Therefore logically, one works.

I could have sworn that I saw network in the question. My mistake.

I see your point. That's what I get for reading messages with 3 hours of sleep in the last 48.

Only one system. That doesn't prohibit multiple users using Telnet, dial up or any other type of access you might have from participating. Or even point systems, since generally points aren't on the node list.

I had some context in mind, but I failed to include it for fear of someone biting me.

Since some have already bitten, are you sharing the context now? ;)
