   Hi Ozz,

   A node can have multiple domains. binkd.config can handle that too. So it   
   depends on what your nodelist parser is producing, what you do with it...

   That's a bug in the nodelist. An INA: is not supposed to specify a port number!

   So they are connectable by telnet. So the lack of Pvt or Down is correct.

   It would be interesting to see the statistics of the result, when you are   
   done! ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
