It will be able to talk to other EMSI capable nodes, e.g nodes running ifcico, 
qico or others. Not sure if binkd is supporting EMSI or other protocols that 
TrapDoor would be able to use. Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binkp I 
assume that binkd will not work with TrapDoor, but haven't tested this myself.
But there are still nodes out there that carry the IFC flag. In fact I'm 
working to get ifcico running as well exactly for that purpose to connect with 
TrapDoor from my Amiga.

Ingo
