Hi All,

In net 2490 2 extra nodes are made Pvt,:

Pvt,1536,bbs.bytebarn.de,Sernow,Markus_Maussner,-Unpublished-,300,MO,INA:bbs.realcomputing.org,IBN,IVM,IFT
Pvt,3046,cyberia.dnsalias.com,Bamberg,Harald_Kamm,-Unpublished-,300,CM,MO,INA:cyberia.dnsalias.com,IBN,IVM,IFT

Pvt nodes shouldn't have any connection flags or host names in the name field. So it's unclear what the intention is here.
Testing gives:
2:2490/1536 bbs.realcomputing.org:24554 116.203.38.180  Error: Connection refused
2:2490/3046 cyberia.dnsalias.com:24554  93.215.21.65  Ok.

The other Pvt node:
Pvt,3050,srv1.nrw1de.ksit.de,Leichlingen,Karlheinz_Schmidthaus,-Unpublished-,300,MO,IBN,IVM,IFT
Gives:
2:2490/3050 srv1.nrw1de.ksit.de - Error: Cannot getaddrinfo - Name or service not known
And shouldn't have the MO,IBN,IVM,IFT flags and hostname in the name field.

New host name in net 5020 for node:
,8086,Z80_Station,Moscow,Pavel_Osipov,-Unpublished-,300,MO,IBN,ICM,INA:f8086.n5020.z2.binkp.net
Host f8086.n5020.z2.binkp.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
The previous host name (f8086.no-ip.org) still works though!?

A RIN in R19 has a port number added to the ITN flag:
,37,The_ByteXChange_BBS,Lindale_TX,Chad_Adams,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XA,INA:bbs.thebytexchange.com,ITN:6023,IFT,IBN
# telnet bbs.thebytexchange.com 6023
Trying 163.123.181.114...
telnet: connect to address 163.123.181.114: Connection refused
(BinkIT/2.41 answers on the binkp port)


Regards, Wilfred
