The MODE command is a bit like the PARMS command. It shows a number of additional parameters. These are as follows as shown by example :

MODE
THENET:G8KBB-5> 0 1800 6 3 2 20 0 600 2 900 1 31 0 1 1 0 0

with the following meanings :

0	Host mode protocol ( 0 = standard, 1 = DCD mode )

1800	CWID period. Delay in seconds between CWID

6	CWID speed 10's of msec per dot. 6 equals 20 wpm

3	Enable / disable nodes broadcasts mask.

2	RS232 protocol, 0 = crosslink, 1,2 or 3 are KISS

20	TxDelay in 10's of milliseconds ( Centiseconds ?? )

0	Full duplex control. 0 equals simplex

600	RS232 port nodes broadcast interval in seconds

2	Nodes broadcast algorithm port mask

900	Beacon period in seconds

1	'connect' redirector. 0 is to HOST, 1 is to BBS, 2 is to DXCluster

31 	Each bit controls one of the 'user' help messages, 8 bit TALK, case sensitivity & TexNet i/f

0 	This byte controls the broadcasting of 'hash' nodes

1 	This byte enables / disables the extra alias operation

1	If set to '1', a remote disconnect on a circuit will cause a node reconnection

0	The bits of this controls the operation of the node with regard to 'slime trails'

0	The bits of this control whether digi uplinks and downlinks are permitted
