Of course it looks OK.  Still doesn't work though.

Can't see such a useful feature being dropped, nor can I see it not being
backwardly compatible between versions.

Because that's how I've compiled my nodelist.

---------------
TypeDef HST   1
TypeDef V34   2
TypeDef V32   4
TypeDef V32b  8
TypeDef PEP  16
TypeDef VFC  32
---------------

Therefore, "ModemTrans 8 ATX1DT" should (and used to) look for
the V32b flag in the nodelist, and dial ATX1DT if it finds it listed for
that node.  Same as I used to use "ModemTrans 1 ATB0DT" to call
HST modems with my old Courier.

Nope, it's definitely NOT being sent with Binkley 2.60/BTPE 4.0.
