   There is a LITTLE standarization, on H.F. network"105"
  which is H.F. and worldwide, goes with the KAM standards,
  -7 for k-node, -2 for VHF>HF wormhole, and -1 for the
  built in mailbox. since -1 is almost standard on VHF for
  personal mailboxes, a lot of BBS SYSOPS use -1 also.

  with the fall of net/rom and trunking on vhf, there are
  a lot of "Wild" nodes out there, and they use -7.

  good luck.

  OH! A little trivia. APRS can share the same SSID with another
  port on your system. they use UI frames without the poll bit set.

  Greetings,

  I find SSID a bit of a stumbling block, not much of an assist...
  Back to the beginning of this reflector SSID seems like a silent subject.
  My task is to pick SSIDs for my station(s).
  I expect to have 2 jnos and maybe 4 or 5 xcievers under my call at some times.

  I find no "standard", and my neighborhood seems disparate except for BBS are mostly "-1" locally.
  "Mostly" is not OK?
  The jnos "connect" is my most failing command - it doesn't go beyond "connected" if I choose the wrong SSID.
  Yes - I've been using jnos to "surf" the RF like my Internet browser...
  The tools in jnos to sort out SSIDs of other stations are missing (I'm not intimating adding tools)?
  MSYS has a few associated with the "J" command I find useful on one neighbor - that's my best shot "on the air".
  Naturally you wonder about my "problem" if most are "-1"?
  One tool I find a bit of a kludge is "tracing then grepping" beacon text - but then beacons are not consistent either...

  This may be the nature of the AX.25 beast, and may also be a minor inconvenience for everyone.
  I don't believe there is a jnos problem in SSID management, perhaps more inexperience in one jnos user.
  I wonder if anyone has made management of SSID into a no-brainer?
  What's the trick?
