   Nodelist Parser...   
   27 Jun 18 17:16:37   
   
   Okay, a more serious nodelist question...   
       
   What is a nodelist parser supposed to do with a line that has two INA   
   addresses? Right now, I am taking the second, mainly because one line just has   
   INA:9600, which totally tripped up my address validation code. [fixed].   
       
   There are a couple lines that have for example ITN:domain.address, no IBN, no   
   INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not marked as Pvt or Down.   
   What rule of thumb should be applied?   
       
   I have Rhenium polling every node right now in the background - just so I can   
   validate my nodelist parser. Finding a lot of systems that are IP based are   
   not available - I know someone is going to defend this with ZMH... however, I   
   haven't gotten to implement XM,CM,etc. logic. Rhenium is doing this so I can   
   collect VER information (what systems are running what, along with collecting   
   M_ADR list for what networks others are in around the world).   
       
   * This is running in single thread poll - so I would not mess up anyone,   
   including my ISP if I spawned off a few thousand threads.     
   Regards,   
   Ozz
