Sure. You find a BBS and connection information to visit the BBS, then you look 
for FTN capabilities? That sounds normal. If you did it the other way around, 
noticing FTN capabilities for a BBS you might be interested in actually 
calling, you would have to look for connection information elsewhere, besides 
the nodelist.. unless you take a guess via an FTN connection method (as 
sometimes it's the same address, just different port).

My point was, nodelists are only for FTN connections. Not telnet/ssh connection 
advertising. The ITN flag in the nodelist is for telnet mailers, not telnet 
connections to visit a BBS.

Regards,
Nick
