    JS> Synchronet itself I don't think listens for activity on ports. Now the   
      
   Telnet?  SSH?  Besides, as DM pointed out, the JS modules jisten on their ports   
   on the addresses specified in sbbs.ini.   
      
    IP address of network interface to bind to (defaults to ANY/ALL interfaces):   
             
   Interface=10.69.181.6,2001:44b8:4176:f100::6,202.12.89.162,10.21

   Mine's particularly complex, because 2 BBSs are sharing the same machine (using   
   separate IPs), and the system is on multiple networks.  Therefore, I have to   
   expliticitly specify where SBBS listens, to avoid conflicts with other   
   software, but the vast majority of people shouldn't need to do this.   
      
   DM did suggest using   
      
     Interface=::   
      
   to explicitly specify all IPv6 interfaces, which should also do IPv4 on Linux,   
   even though the default is to listen on all interfaces.

   What OS are you running on?  If it's Linux, try telling it to listen only on   
   IPv6 (::).   
      
   I still use BinkD, because I like that software, and had been using it for   
   years, but heard a lot of good things about BinkIT.   
      
      
   ... A steak pun is a rare medium well done.
