 > How can you be sure '3:635/727.4' is a FidoNet address?

    As long as it has no domain attached to it, it must be a Fidonet address.

    Point in case: postage stamps were invented and implemented in the
United Kingdom. Opposed to stamps used by any other country they bear no
country name, not even today.

    It's the initiator's right.

    There is no need to display any degree of uncertaintity by appending or
prepending a domain name to a real Fidonet address.

    Unless, of course, you prefer a dish of lentils ;-)
