 Nodelist Parser... 
 27 Jun 18 17:16:37 
 
Okay, a more serious nodelist question...
 
What is a nodelist parser supposed to do with a line that has two INA
addresses? Right now, I am taking the second, mainly because one line just has
INA:9600, which totally tripped up my address validation code. [fixed].
 
There are a couple lines that have for example ITN:domain.address, no IBN, no
INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not marked as Pvt or Down.
What rule of thumb should be applied?
 
I have Rhenium polling every node right now in the background - just so I can
validate my nodelist parser. Finding a lot of systems that are IP based are
not available - I know someone is going to defend this with ZMH... however, I
haven't gotten to implement XM,CM,etc. logic. Rhenium is doing this so I can
collect VER information (what systems are running what, along with collecting
M_ADR list for what networks others are in around the world).
 
* This is running in single thread poll - so I would not mess up anyone,
including my ISP if I spawned off a few thousand threads.  
Regards,
Ozz
