INA was created because there was someone who was trying to push a lot of
buttons and piss a lot of people off... at that time, there was a 157 (IIRC)
limit on the length of a nodelist line so this individual was putting their
domain on all of the flags that applied to their node... the same domain... INA
was created as a generic one place flag to list the domain if it was the same
for all the flags...
ON> INB - says BinkP
IBN... yes, that's binkp protocol...
ON> ITN - says Telnet (does that mean Wazoo/YooHoo over TCP?)
yes, it means all the standard FTN protocols used on a POTS line are available
on telnet... FTS-0001 and up through EMSI...

i'm not sure which nodelist line you are referencing now but yes, if there's no
port, the default port is assumed...
