BinkleyTerm by default expects that your primary address (first Address keyword
in Binkley.Cfg) is listed in the compiled nodelist. To accomplish this, you
can either use a V7 nodelist editor program such as BONK to add the entry
directly to your compiled nodelist, or you can compile in an additional private
nodelist which contains the entries for your dummy address. Check the QNode
docs for more information on how to add a private nodelist. This approach is
IMHO the best way, since it will prevent problems with your system if for some
reason your entry disappears from the distribution nodelist.
