* Introducing INA against the express wishes of Michiel
I'm not sure why it was introduced at the time. Maybe there
were good reason, but nowadays it's mostly useless and could
be deprecated for simplification.
It was a stupid and worthless flag idea from day one. We still
don't know of any FTN software that makes any use of it,
binkd.
Or, more exactly, its' nodelist parser module (written in perl).
so it should never have been included in FTS-5001.
FOAD.
% egrep -c ',IBN' ~/fido/etc/nodelist.ndl
1080
% egrep -v ,INA: ~/fido/etc/nodelist.ndl | egrep -c ',IBN'
168
% echo 1080-168 | bc
912
That means, out of all nodes with declared binkp capability:
* 912 do use INA and
* 168 don't.
