   INA was created because there was someone who was trying to push a lot of   
   buttons and piss a lot of people off... at that time, there was a 157 (IIRC)   
   limit on the length of a nodelist line so this individual was putting their   
   domain on all of the flags that applied to their node... the same domain...   
   INA was created as a generic one place flag to list the domain if it was the   
   same for all the flags...

   IBN... yes, that's binkp protocol...   
      
    ON> ITN - says Telnet (does that mean Wazoo/YooHoo over TCP?)   
      
   yes, it means all the standard FTN protocols used on a POTS line are available   
   on telnet... FTS-0001 and up through EMSI...

   i'm not sure which nodelist line you are referencing now but yes, if there's   
   no port, the default port is assumed...
