This should be the best description. However, you've misinterpreted it to 
assume that it's for your telnet BBS, when the flag itself is used for a telnet 
mailer. It's another form of transferring mail.

It's not used much any more, but I believe MBSE and Irex support it. I'm sure 
there's probably others, too.. but I've never used it.

Either way, there are no nodelist flags for the use of connecting to a BBS. The 
nodelist is specifically for FTN related mailer connections. Though you could 
technically use the system_name field to put your telnet address (the one used 
to connect to your actual BBS) in, instead of actually using your system's 
name, if you really wanted to do so.

I don't think many people use a nodelist as any kind of BBS list, though.. so 
it would be kind of pointless.

Regards,
Nick
