The "Operating Dialup FTS-1 at" was designed to be backward
compatible with the St Louis nodelist, so you could copy anything after
that string back into the St Louis nodelist.

What for?  Other connection methods than FTS-1 and BinkP?  There is scope
for more if needed, eg. "Operating TCP/IP VMODEM at example.org".
 Which reminds me, there's no method to specify an alternate BinkP port
number in my proposal, so I'll have to fix that.  Something like

Operating [TCP/IP] [Binkp] [at] [host] [port]

Where [port] is optional, and if unspecified, the default BinkP port will be used.
