I can't say offhand without knowing a lot more about your setup, and even 
then I haven't run 4d myself.  But I can read the squish.cfg file :
; FOR 4D POINTS
; -------------
;
; This feature can only be used if both you and your boss are running ; 
4D-aware packers AND 4D mailers.
;
; Most mailers support 4D points, but BinkleyTerm (version 2.40 or ; below) 
does not.  Others, such as FrontDoor, InterMail, D'bridge, and ; BinkleyTerm 
2.50+ can handle 4D points correctly.
;
; In addition, you and your boss must be running 4D-compatible ; packers and 
scanners.  Most packers and scanners are NOT fully ; 4D.  As of this writing, 
the most common 4D tossers/scanners/packers ; are TosScan, Imail, GEcho and 
(of course) Squish.
;
; Unless both you and your boss satisfy all of these requirements, ; you must 
use a fakenet point instead.
;
; For 4D points, simply include your full 4D address.  Any addresses ; after 
that will simply be considered as AKAs.
;
; For a point at 1:123/456.1, the following configuration would be used: ;
;       Address 1:123/456.1
Just found this in squish.doc, it might be useful for you:
          BinkPoint (BinkleyTerm systems only)
               The BinkPoint keyword enables the BinkleyTerm 2.50+ point 
               directory support.  When this keyword is enabled, Squish
               will turn on full 4D address support, and Squish can then
               communicate freely with 4D points running BinkleyTerm.
               If you are using 4D points with Binkley 2.50 or above, BOTH
               the boss and the point must have this keyword enabled.
