It's not an opinion, it's simple fact.  Multiple binkp connections can 
happen at the same time, unlike a modem/phone connection.  Your nodelist 
entry specifies "CM", "IBN", and "INA".  Let me know if you need some 
clarification on what those terms mean.

It wasn't an "excuse", just a statement of fact.  I could not care less 
about having/using IPv6.  Version 4 works just fine.

It's not "deprecated" (the proper spelling of what you mean).  It's a 
world-wide standard, in widespread use.  Also, I wasn't asking for 
higher priority, just that your system match what it advertises as it's 
capabilities.  CM/IBN/INA.  There aren't any "busy signals".

Why would it affect them at all?  Are you using some kind of deprecated 
hardware, or something?

I just tried replying to your netmail to me, and .... yep, can't get a 
connection to 2:203/2.  It'll keep trying, and maybe eventually get 
through.  Strange how your system(s) are so unreliable.
