My entry in the nodelist is simply a hostname, which can be reached on IPv4 and
IPv6.  The nodelist doesn't care.  It's the DNS records that advertise the
connectivity options (A record for IPv4, AAAA for IPv6).  My Fidonet nodelisted
binkp hostname has both A and AAAA records, and I doubt any nodelist processing
software has barfed on it. :)

I don't have one of those nowadays, though sometimes, I'm tempted to put up a
modem on VoIP as an experiment.  But I seriously doubt it will get any callers.
