   You probably set both iport and oport in your binkd config, then the behaviour   
   is as expected. While you only supposed to set the iport for incoming   
   connections!   
      
      
   This is translated from the russian docs, by google translate:   
      
   4.27. iport   
      
   The iport directive specifies the TCP port that will be opened by binkd to   
   receive incoming connections. This directive can be used to set a non-standard   
   port for binkd to run on, in particular to bypass the deny rules of a network   
   gateway firewall.   
      
   Parameter ? a positive integer or a string (the name of the port number from   
   the /etc/services file in unix and c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services in   
   Windows NT and 2000, in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ services in Windows   
   XP and 2003). The default value is 24554.   
      
   This directive is optional.   
      
   Example:   
      
   iport 24555   
      
      
   4.41. oport   
      
   The oport directive specifies the port on which binkd will try to establish a   
   connection when the port for the link is not explicitly specified in the   
   link's host address in the node line.   
      
   Parameter ? a positive integer or a string (the name of the port number from   
   the /etc/services file in unix and c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services in   
   Windows NT and 2000, in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ services in Windows   
   XP and 2003). The default value is 24554.   
      
   This directive is optional.   
      
   Example:   
      
   oport 24555   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
