[Dxspider-support] Node verification

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

As always, if there is a non spider node or older software then entry 
will still be available. But, it would be a good idea for every sysop to 
communicate with each of their partners to be sure that they are still 
"real" and not some old forgotten node call that is no longer valid.

At least this would attempt to validate DXSpider<->DXSpider node 
connections without a huge investment in new protocols.

THAT was the equation. EXISTENCE!... SURVIVAL... must cancel out... 
programming!
