   One or more non-white-space character (i.e. another hostname). If the you're   
   only associating a single hostname with the node, then there's no semicolon   
   and nothing where the asterisk is.   
      
    > Is there or is there not a space before the password?   
      
   One or more spaces before the password (or '-' when no password is used), yes.

   When I used binkd, I did not specify a flavor. I think it might only be used   
   when a mailbox (outbox) is used, which would have no implicit mode/flavor.

   You can put a '-' for the 'host' field if it's not applicable. This is the   
   help line in (an old) binkd.cfg file:   
      
   #node [[z:]n/]n[.p][@domain] [-nr|-nd] [{hosts|-} [{pwd|-} [flavour [{obox|-}   
   [{ibox|-}]]]]]   
      
   That "|-" indicates that a '-' can be used instead of a host (or list of   
   hosts). The semicolon is only used for separating multiple hosts.   
      
    > The only thing I could think of to put for an address was the 0.0.0.0.  Is

   No.   
      
   All this info was gleaned from that single line in the binkd.cfg file, so I'd   
   definitely refer to the binkd docs for detailed and possibly more accurate   
   descriptions.
