There is also a special protocol optimized to use over TCP/IP connections,

identified by EMSI proto code TCP (not registered) and nodelist flag IFC.
The default port is 60179.
The default port is 60179. A telnet variant is installed at port 60177, the
nodelist flag is ITN:60177. The port number is needed because the default port
in the nodelist is port 23.

There is also a <strong>Binkp/1.1</strong> implementation, this is a
bi-directional TCP/IP protocol.
This protocol is prefferred over the IFC protocol because it is
more efficient. Nodelist flag is IBN, the default port is 24554, and the
nodelist request flag is XX. This Binkp implementation supports multiple
batches, however this is only tested against another <strong>mbcico.</strong>
I don't know if any other mailer supports this option, but it is documented
in the spec's. (Irex uses it).
nodelist request flag is XX. This binkp implementation uses zlib packet
compression opt PLZ (FSP-xxxx) to increase the transfer speed and to lower
