 +**NOTES:**
 +  * 3D addresses are normally expressed as "<zone>:<net>/<node>" (e.g. "1:103/705")
 +  * 4D addresses are normally expressed as "<zone>:<net>/<node>[.point]" (e.g. "1:103/705.1")
 +  * 5D addresses are normally expressed as "<zone>:<net>/<node>[.point]@<domain>" (e.g. "1:103/705@fidonet")
 +  * Type-2e (FSC-39) packets are often erroneously referred to as "Type-2+" packets: they are not ((FSC-39 packets lack the ''auxNet'' field specified in FSC-48)).
