[nos-bbs] Question about jnos ALT connection syntax

I have a question about the ALT connection syntax introduced to jnos in late 2025. My desired use case is to connect to a node via ax25/axip by default, but fail over to a netrom connection if that doesn't work. 

For example, the forward.bbs stanza for W1ABC might be "

---------
w1abc
ax25 NODE-ME W1ABC-4 ALT netrom  W1ABC-4
w1abc
rn1bbs
wx
---------

Is that second line legit syntax for the connection route line? It didn't seem to work, but still experimenting. If not, any suggestions on how to fail over to a netrom connection?
