[arm-allstar] Confusion question for Doug C

[Doug Crompton]

Larry,

 Yes a technicality but I guess for a newbie maybe confusing. In either
case - using a FOB without a radio or using a hub without a radio you could
call it a radio-less node as both have no radio. In the case of a node that
has no communications connections other than the internet and where you
define it as pseudo you could call it "FOBLESS"
