Excellant! Now just need to test outbound FTN IPv6 connects,
and how to do that with the programs I have available... (MBSE
BBS, BinkD, Qico.)

MBSE will use IPv6 first, and then fall back to IPv4 if
necessary, assuming that the hostname has both A and AAAA
records.

What else might be needed for that? Because on a Debian 8 install
of v1.04, a poll attempt to your system went via IPv4. (I'll check
the settings I was using, and follow up as necessary in the MBSE
echo...)

I tried your 1:320/219 node as well and it still went out via IPv4. Is it really MBSE that "will use IPv6 first"? Or it perhaps related to OS settings? The new system hosting 1:120/545 is a 64bit system on Debian 8.

It is not
currently possible to specify a literal IPv6 address in the
hostname field of a node record (I'm working on changing that.)

I'll be updating the install to the new version (v1.06) at
1:120/545 when I have a chance so I can test that.

I can ping6 your system with no issue so I'll be testing that.

Turned out to be an OS setting, at least on my system; I'd forgotten that I'd set it to default to IPv4 connections (/etc/gai.conf) when I first set the system up at home (so I could work on it; that's not where it's now deployed) because I still do not have reliable IPv6 connectivity there.
