Here is something that I have worked up. I have not been
able to figure out the time and date of the calls of yet.
And I have no idea what bytes 169 thru 252 (eof) are. If
you find out could you please let me know .


TYPE FD
   FromMarker1 AS STRING * 1
   FromSystem AS STRING * 30
   FromMarker2 AS STRING * 1
   FromCity AS STRING * 40
   FromZone AS INTEGER
   FromNet AS INTEGER
   FromNode AS INTEGER
   FromPoint AS INTEGER
   FromIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER
   FromIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER

   ToMarker1 AS STRING * 1
   ToSystem AS STRING * 30
   ToMarker2 AS STRING * 1
   ToCity AS STRING * 40
   ToZone AS INTEGER
   ToNet AS INTEGER
   ToNode AS INTEGER
   ToPoint AS INTEGER
   ToIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER
   ToIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER

   RestIHaveNoIdea AS STRING * 84

END TYPE

CLS

DIM LC AS FD

OPEN "LASTCALL.FD" FOR BINARY AS #1

GET 1, , LC

FromZone$ = MID$(STR$(LC.FromZone), 2)
FromNet$ = MID$(STR$(LC.FromNet), 2)
FromNode$ = MID$(STR$(LC.FromNode), 2)
FromPoint$ = MID$(STR$(LC.FromPoint), 2)
FromFullNode$ = FromZone$ + ":" + FromNet$ + "/" + FromNode$
IF VAL(Point$) > 0 THEN FromFullNode$ = FromFullNode$ + "." + FromPoint$

PRINT "From: "; LC.FromSystem; FromFullNode$
PRINT "      "; LC.FromCity

PRINT

ToZone$ = MID$(STR$(LC.ToZone), 2)
ToNet$ = MID$(STR$(LC.ToNet), 2)
ToNode$ = MID$(STR$(LC.ToNode), 2)
ToPoint$ = MID$(STR$(LC.ToPoint), 2)
ToFullNode$ = ToZone$ + ":" + ToNet$ + "/" + ToNode$
IF VAL(Point$) > 0 THEN ToFullNode$ = ToFullNode$ + "." + ToPoint$

PRINT "To  : "; LC.ToSystem; ToFullNode$
PRINT "      "; LC.ToCity
