[Dxspider-support] spots with IPv6 addresses are ignored

[Tobias Wellnitz]

Hi Dirk,
I just checked out the mojo branch. I can confirm that with the latest
commit (#6ec22e7) this problem is resolved. Spots are now accepted with
IPv6 addresses.

Thanks!

Is it safe to use the mojo branch in production? I noticed that several
additional libraries are needed. So I assume that the mojo branch contains
some deeper changes.

73 & thanks,
Tobias, DH1TW
