    NB> I believe correct practice is INA: and IBN:, only if the   
    NB> port being used is *not* the default port. Otherwise, "IBN" with no port   
    NB> specified assumes the default.   
      
   Thank you for that information.   
      
   I took a look in a nodelist which is quite outdated at this point, but the   
   results are not what I expected:   
      
   I see some like "INA:weather-station.org,IBN:24555"   
   Then I see one with no INA and an IBN:theoraclebbs.com   
   Then I see INA:shenks.synchro.net,IBN:shenks.dyndns.org   
   Then I see INA:vintagebbsing.com:24555,IBN   
      
   This logic should handle all of those situations and may be what I experiment   
   with:   
      
   Set default port to binkp default   
   Check for INA.  If not blank then get hostname   
   If INA hostname has ":" in it then pull the port replacing the default   
   Check IBN:   
     If not blank then check for all numbers.  If all numbers then replace   
   default port   
     If blank hostname then pull hostname from IBN   
      
   First example would return weather-station.org:24555   
   Second example would return theoraclebbs.com:default   
   Third example would return shenks.dyndns.org:default   
   Fourth example would return vintagebbs.com:24555   
      
    NB> By the way, HI AND LONG TIME NO SEE. :D   
      
   Hey man happy to see you around.  I am still lurking!  The message backlog can   
   be overwhelming when on limited time because usually each message comes with a   
   queue of work or research for me to respond to.
