Hank, you are right. The NETSERV AFD function may also be used to
subscribe to routing table services. I did not want to describe
this in detail because my mail was already long enough and I feared
to confuse those people for which all this is very new.

In fact, it is suggested that everybody use :routtab as I have described,
and use AFD only, and in addition to the :routtab subscription when a
prologtext (e.g. commandline for a local server)
is required in front of the routing table.
