Keep in mind also, that currently developed BBS softwares (Mystic
and Synchronet, for example) have options to listen on IPv4, IPv6, or
both. It could just be the fact that they`ve set it up to listen on
IPv4 only, maybe not even knowing that they have IPv6 capability. Or,
they may only want to connect via IPv4 because they have no way of
setting any kind of firewall rules for IPv6 (crappy ISP issued router, or
something). Finally, they may just not know what the hell they`re doing. ;)
Then, on older BBS softwares some kind of front-end needs to be
ran to answer incoming telnet connections. Some of these front-ends may
not support IPv6. If they do, then there would be a separate
configuration option to listen via IPv6 also.. which may not have ever been done
if said sysop configured all of this 20 years ago and left it alone.
I`d be willing to bet a majority of those 46 nodes just have no
idea they have IPv6, or don`t know how to properly configure it (so
they have an AAAA record, but it`s not setup to listen on certain
ports).
Regards,
Nick
