    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.
