Well, you're the one with the FAP; I can only argue from what I remember, 
and that memory is over 15 years old.  My recolection is that node type 
wasn't code at all; that it was a description of the hardware  that 
exwecuted the code.  (About the only thing in SNA that acknowledged the
existance of hardware.)  I know that's how I interpretted it when I wrote 
a brief tutorial on SNA for the company I was leaving.  It won't be the 
first time I've been wrong for over 15 years.
