A non-CM node doesn't have to be a ZMH-only node. As you know, it can carry
the ,Tyz flag.
A sysop may not want or need to have her system running 24 hours a day, for
whatever reason.

 CN>> Besides non-CM nodes, it could be useful for points...

 WV> Points that are not CM, should just poll their boss. ;-)

IMO a boss and a point can make their connections in any way they agree...
(Also, the point can be the sysop.)

I may do some more tests, to see if can be less lucky... :-)
