 I tried 3:633/410 and 3:633/280 and got IPv6 connections on both.
 You are however calling 21:1/100@fsxnet. I have no way to check what
 is in your binkd.conf for that node,

 I expect Servname to be the service port (eg 24554) and the socket type
 either for ipv4 or ipv6.

 I tried 3:633/280 with an arbitrary port number, that resulted in
 connection refused.

 O.K. that is your local system, not the server for 3:633/410
 It could use an upgrade on the version of Binkd.

 Why does it say: "call to 21:1/100@fsxnet", when you are polling 3:633/410

 Sorry, just more questions and no answers to your problem.
