Hello Nil,

Wrong.

IBN:fido.vlist.eu  or  IBN:f5556.vlist.eu:24555 is perfectly valid.

This is shorter than using the INA,IBN combination.

Using the INA flag for the host addess is shorter when there are multiple
protocol flags.

INA:fido.vlist.eu,IBN,ITN is fine as well.

It is all documented in FTS-5001.


Cheers, Michiel
