The "Operating Dialup FTS-1 at" was designed to be backward compatible with the
St Louis nodelist, so you could copy anything after that string back into the
St Louis nodelist.

What for?  Other connection methods than FTS-1 and BinkP?  There is scope for
more if needed, eg. "Operating TCP/IP VMODEM at example.org".  Which reminds
me, there's no method to specify an alternate BinkP port number in my proposal,
so I'll have to fix that.  Something like

Operating [TCP/IP] [Binkp] [at] [host] [port]

Where [port] is optional, and if unspecified, the default BinkP port will be
used.

Andrew
