Mine (when I entered George Peace as the recipient of a netmail message in
my netmail area) came up with the following:
1:270/103 Pennsylvania Online HST

When I entered Peace, I got this:
1:270/104 Ftphub Distribuion.

I'm running Msged/386 4.00, and use Qnode to compile my nodelist, which is .073.
