  • Listen on two ports?

    From Paul Hayton@3:770/100 to All on Sun Jul 30 13:44:21 2023
    Can I set BinkD to listen on two ports at the same time?
    Ideally traffic that is sent to an IPv6 address.

    Sure, just like:

    listen :24554
    listen :24555

    or:

    listen f10.n221.z2.rbb.fidonet.fi:24554

    Be aware that if you specify a listen command, the default of listening to all adresses on both IPv4 and IPv6 will be disabled. So if you specify:

    listen ipv6address.example:24554
    listen ipv6address.example:24555

    You have to explicitly add a listen command for IPv4 unless it is an IPv6 only node:

    listen 0.0.0.0:24555

    Maybe the simplest way in your case (3:770/100) is:

    listen agency6.bbs.nz:24554
    listen [::]:24555
    listen 0.0.0.0:24555


    Cheers, Michiel
