Thank you for that information.

I took a look in a nodelist which is quite outdated at this point, but the 
results are not what I expected:

I see some like "INA:weather-station.org,IBN:24555"
Then I see one with no INA and an IBN:theoraclebbs.com
Then I see INA:shenks.synchro.net,IBN:shenks.dyndns.org
Then I see INA:vintagebbsing.com:24555,IBN

This logic should handle all of those situations and may be what I experiment 
with:

Set default port to binkp default
Check for INA.  If not blank then get hostname
If INA hostname has ":" in it then pull the port replacing the default
Check IBN:
  If not blank then check for all numbers.  If all numbers then replace default 
port
  If blank hostname then pull hostname from IBN

First example would return weather-station.org:24555
Second example would return theoraclebbs.com:default
Third example would return shenks.dyndns.org:default
Fourth example would return vintagebbs.com:24555

 NB> By the way, HI AND LONG TIME NO SEE. :D

Hey man happy to see you around.  I am still lurking!  The message backlog can 
be overwhelming when on limited time because usually each message comes with a 
queue of work or research for me to respond to.
