Hallo Charles,

CP> I could set that one up now, but how do I set things up to point to it?

As you mentioned, all your devices show the same IPv4 address via  
whatismyip.com, so you need port forwardings in your router for each of  
them.
Eg., if you have 4 BBSes on different machines, you can create these port  
forwardings on your router:

 Port 2301 => bbsmachine1:23
 Port 2302 => bbsmachine2:23

and so on.

The same way could be used to have different BBS programs on the same  
machine, if the BBS programs get different ports:

 Port 2301 => bbsmachine:2301
 Port 2302 => bbsmachine:2302
 etc...

Using IPv6 is a bit easier, as all your machines have individual IPv6  
addresses. You just have to make sure that they always have one specific  
IPv6 address that stays the same (eg. by disabling the "privacy  
extensions"). Then you just have to open the host/port on the firewall.

Regards,
Anna
