BinkleyTerm by default expects that your primary address (first Address keyword 
in Binkley.Cfg) is listed in the compiled nodelist.  To accomplish this, you 
can either use a V7 nodelist editor program such as BONK to add the entry 
directly to your compiled nodelist, or you can compile in an additional private 
nodelist which contains the entries for your dummy address.  Check the QNode 
docs for more information on how to add a private nodelist.  This approach is 
IMHO the best way, since it will prevent problems with your system if for some 
reason your entry disappears from the distribution nodelist.

Later,
           Andrew
