Default Flag port Description --------------------------
INA (none) This flag sets the default Internet address used for any non-email based flag that does not specify its own. This flag does not carry a port number. IP (none) Mostly used during the introduction of IP capable systems to the nodelist, is similar to the INA flag but may or may not specify an Internet address. Both usages are deprecated in favour of INA.
IBN 24554 Binkp (FTS-1026 - FTS-1029) IFC 60179 RAW ifcico (FTS-1024) IFT 21 FTP (RFC-0959); Note there is currently no widely accepted authentication scheme for FTP transfers by Fidonet mailers. ITN 23 Telnet connection using FTS-1 or any other protocol designed for classic POTS and modem. IVM 3141 Vmodem connection using FTS-1 or any other protocol designed for classic POTS and modem.
INO4 (none) Indicates that an otherwise IP capable node is unable to accept incoming connections over IPv4. (FRL-1038) This flag does not carry an address or port number.
PH> in the available flags listed in the copy of the nodelist I see PH> stated as "authorised for use n the Fidonet Zone 1 nodelist segment"
You are in Z3. Why do youuse the Z1 list instead of the Z3 list?
PH> At present my nodelist entry uses IBN:agency.bbs.geek.nz to achieve PH> the same kind of outcome it would seem.
Putting the hostname behind the IBN flag is perfectly OK according to FTS-5000 and FTS-5001. In your case it is shorter than using the INA flag.
