It's not an opinion, it's simple fact. Multiple binkp connections can
happen at the same time, unlike a modem/phone connection. Your nodelist
entry specifies "CM", "IBN", and "INA". Let me know if you need some
clarification on what those terms mean.

It wasn't an "excuse", just a statement of fact. I could not care less
about having/using IPv6. Version 4 works just fine.

It's not "deprecated" (the proper spelling of what you mean). It's a
world-wide standard, in widespread use. Also, I wasn't asking for
higher priority, just that your system match what it advertises as it's
capabilities. CM/IBN/INA. There aren't any "busy signals".

Why would it affect them at all? Are you using some kind of deprecated
hardware, or something?
I just tried replying to your netmail to me, and .... yep, can't get a
connection to 2:203/2. It'll keep trying, and maybe eventually get
through. Strange how your system(s) are so unreliable.
... All the easy problems have been solved.
