Вард озаботился наличием в нодлисте у большинства узлов в сети 5036
(Липецк) флага EVY, который использовался в 1999 году для указания
некоего Voyager-software. С тех пор об этом программном обеспечении Вард больше не слышал, и поэтому был сильно удивлён, что в N5036 у многих
узлов присутствует этот флаг.

Alex,
I'm researching the viability of the EVY-flag indicating the use of the Voyager-software.
Voyager was introduced to me on January 29th 1999 when I visited Ron Dwight (former ZC2) in Finland. He demonstrated it to me.
The EVY-flag was introduced but after Jan.29th 1999 I saw it nowhere being used. Ron Dwight re-allocated to the USA and passed-away there. What happened to the software is a great unknown.
There is a "Voyager" browser, but that was for the Amiga and we're talking 1994 ... totally different.
So the question is "is the EVY-flag a valid thing?" because if it isn't, almost all the entries in net-5036 are bogus entries.
Can you have a look at that please?
Thank you,
