Two different things.   UIDIGI is a single basic callsign substituting
digipeater.  The UIFLOOD magic in the D700 (or KPC) TNC gives the multiple
hop n-N handling.  For temporary fill in functionality the WIDE1-1 in the
UIDIGI field is great.  The PACKET mode configuration will allow for
extended temporary networks.
