Yes, it's not documented too well. The 5.3 docs (change wwiv52 to latest in the
URL) have a bit more details.

http://docs.wwivbbs.org/en/latest/network/ftn_nets/

networkb can call and receive binkp packets, no need for binkd.  networkb (b =
binkp) will send from the directories automatically when you call out using it.

Also netmail doesn't work yet, so if you get a netmail packet, I think you'll
have to toss it manually.
