Hello RJ,

To promote IP6. It is not a hard must, just a recomendation.

From your AKA's, 1:120/546 is the one that carries a host name (bbbb.rocasa.biz) that carries an AAAA record (2001:470:1f11:10b9::13). I tried to do a binkp connect but it failed.

               A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network

Looks like an IPv6 firewall problem. My binkd can not connect woth IPv4 either. I do not undertstand why.

 RC>    Which is where most people are...

He means "but not advised when connecting to a host outside the LAN".
