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 no IBN, no INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not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

* 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!
