subject: BBBS and IPv6?

Hello Janis,

I think I am running the same version as you. 

BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-2, 1.4 MB (1,447,768 bytes)

But BBBS will not connect to a FQDN that resolves to a IPv6 address. But, BinkD
with IPv6 support which I also have installed on a different port can connect
to and resolve the IPv6 address fine. With BinkD I can tell it to bind to a
IPv4 or an IPv6 address. So far I haven't seen any reference in BBBS or it's
docs regarding IPv6 functionality.

> You ought to contact Kim and let him know I think...

I have sent Kim an email on this and several other things over the last couple
three months. I guess he is busy and/or on the go as I haven't gotten any 
replies from him for quite some time.
