More oddities, IPv6 vs IPv4.

From Home ISP (defaults to IPv6 after 2 minute timeout, it tries IPv4 -
really ODD results as it still fails):
  telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
  Trying 2607:f8b0:400e:c04::6d... (wait 2 minutes - time out)
  Trying 74.125.28.108... (wait 2 minutes - time out)
  Trying 74.125.28.109... (wait 2 minutes - time out)
  ...

yet, if I telnet directly using IPv4:

  telnet -4 smtp.gmail.com 587
  Trying 74.125.28.108...   (note this is the same IPv4 as above)
  Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.

Makes me think (and unrelated). Are their ISPs that only provide IPv4 vs
IPv6 services? The SRV records point to a host name, not an IP address.

WORKS from Texas: So I ssh'd into a Texas system that I manage and -
everything works, both IPv4 and IPv6 on port 587.

traceroute IPv4 fails for me to port 587. Must be my ISP oddities.
I think my ISP is busted.
