Hello Deon!

18 Sep 18 06:00, you wrote to me:

The original method for listing an internet hostname in the FidoNet NodeList 
was in the system name field.  The INA: flag for the internet address came 
much later.  MBSE was originally designed to look for the hostname in the 
system name field; then later adapted to other methods of listing the 
hostname, such as the INA: flag or attached to a protocol flag, or even an IP 
address in the phone number field.
