      RM>ON> addresses?               RM> If you can have multiple addresses, then use both. (eg. backup address,       RM> if first is unreachable).               Thanks - that makes sense (to all have pointed out multi-homed).               RM>ON> There are a couple lines that have for example ITN:domain.address,       RM>ON> no IBN, no INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not       RM>ON> marked as Pvt or Down. What rule of thumb should be applied?               RM> I would assume that you can somehow reach that node via telnet on the       RM> address from the ITN flag.       RM> If you do not support that protocol you have to treat that node as       RM> unrechable.               * My interpretation:       INA - is reserved to be the address of the destination machine w/o PORT       INB - says BinkP       ITN - says Telnet (does that mean Wazoo/YooHoo over TCP?)               If I understood the above, then the INA should have had the address, w/o a INB       and does have ITN as a flag, as port 23 is assumed.                RM> It would be nice if you could post your findings here.               I will be posting my finding (who was up, who was not), binkp extentions and       versions, along with software and what networks everyone is sharing.               I held off on sharing my last results, as I found a bug in my M_ADR parser,       only reporting the first 255 bytes (oops). That has been fixed... now I am       going to run again this week and I will collect into a DB so I can make some       useful reports... thanks for the interest!               Ozz               --- dBridge & Rhenium        * Origin: RVA Fido Support - ExchangeBBS.com, ModernPascal.com (1:275/362)    |
