   My brand new callbacksystem reads the ip address where the call is coming and   
   tries to call back. Your .1 call was coming from ipv6 address which couldn't   
   backresolv for dns name. That caused the callback to fail:

   Maybe Binkd needs []'s around the IPv6 address. Let's see.

   That's because Win2003 always sets (and defaults outgoing) slaac address even   
   if I have set manually 2001:470:1f15:cb0:f1d0:2:221:6.
