DB>> Does anyone happen to have a copy of the old FAQ's out there?
WD> This is what's in the nodelist now...
.... and it is misleading. This is what FTS-5001 defines:
| Internet Protocol flags use the syntax: | | <flag>[:<server address>][:<port>]
According to the nodelist comments a non-standard port is defined like
INA:123.45.67.89,IBN:24556 (only "IP-addres" (sic) are mentioned)
FTS-5001 also allows IBN:example.com:24556
What a mess...
