Good ${greeting_time}, mark!

Ok, you were the first who did that...

FQDN? IPv6? Never heard of.
For telnet... well, only lamers from US may still use it and yell about those 
terrible "Russian hackers".

Hint: read the 'SSH to Telnet "gateway"' thread in this echo, started by Joacim 
Melin on 2016-04-10, especially my answers with MSGID: 2:5020/545 570b23d5 and 
MSGID: 2:5020/545 570b8e84. Control question: how did I find he was running old 
FreeBSD 7.3 in the VM? :-)

Modem emulation over insecure IPv4-only links is not a development - it's 
degradation. What do _you_ do in FTSC without understanding that?
