   I got it all worked out.  Adding the -F to the sbbsecho for ooutbound was the   
   key.  I must have read that 100 times an still forgot to change it.  Plus, I   
   was confused originally over netmail.  As per DM, Synchronet creates the   
   outgoing netmail in .MSG format and puts it in your outbound folder.... then   
   when FIDOOUT runs, sbbsecho converts it to a *.?un file that binkd can handle.    
   In hindsight, it really isn't that hard and I'm sure if I work on things, I can   
   get D'Bridge to work with IPv6. The standalone binkd works well. :)
