OK, that's better.

 GM> That resolves to my real endpoints on both protocols:

 GM>     IPv4  68.169.145.190
 GM>     IPv6  2605:8600:60:199d:aa5a:bfc6:5328:c881

What is the name of you internet provider?

 GM> Both answer on 24554 from where I can test, but that is from inside
 GM> my own network, so I would rather have your result than mine.

Indeed. Wrong firewall settings often are a cause of failed connects. But you 
got it right!

 GM> Would you mind trying once more against call.rofbbs.com?

See above.

 GM> While looking into this I also found my FidoNet nodelist entry is
 GM> out of date - it still lists INA:rofbbs.ddns.net,

I saw that and it confused me...

 GM> which no longer resolves at all, plus an old location and phone number
 GM> and no IPV6 flag.

There is no such thing as in IPv6 flag. It is the AAAA record associated woith 
the host name that signals IOv6 connectability.

 GM> That would explain any node failing to reach me from the nodelist. I
 GM> am getting that corrected with my NC.

OK. So until then I will list you as a "prospective Member".  You are 
connectible but not yet correctly listed in the nodelist. With a bit of luck 
that will be fixed next Friday. Or sooner in de daily list.

 GM> Thanks again for the help.

You'r welcome.


Cheers, Michiel
