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       1.109,fd00:0:f1d0:0:15:2:6d:0,fd00:0:f1d0:0:539:2:67:0,fd00:0:f1       0:0:1b0:1:65:0,10.43.21.101              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.               JS> BinkIT mailer that now comes with the current versions of Synchronet        JS> does.

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.                     ...
