Telnet?  SSH?  Besides, as DM pointed out, the JS modules jisten on their ports
on the addresses specified in sbbs.ini.

; IP address of network interface to bind to (defaults to ANY/ALL interfaces):
       
Interface=10.69.181.6,2001:44b8:4176:f100::6,202.12.89.162,10.21.1.109,fd00:0:f1d0:0:15:2:6d:0,fd00:0:f1d0:0:539:2:67:0,fd00:0:f1d0:0:1b0:1:65:0,10.43.21.101

Mine's particularly complex, because 2 BBSs are sharing the same machine (using
separate IPs), and the system is on multiple networks.  Therefore, I have to
expliticitly specify where SBBS listens, to avoid conflicts with other
software, but the vast majority of people shouldn't need to do this.

DM did suggest using

  Interface=::

to explicitly specify all IPv6 interfaces, which should also do IPv4 on Linux,
even though the default is to listen on all interfaces.

What OS are you running on?  If it's Linux, try telling it to listen only on
IPv6 (::).

I still use BinkD, because I like that software, and had been using it for
years, but heard a lot of good things about BinkIT.
