Hello Bj”rn,

On Wednesday March 12 2014 01:57, you wrote to me:

Why? why do you advertise it in the nodelist?  Considering that...

You do not actually support Fido Over IPv6 connects...

 MvdV>> so you you have not made it to the list yet.

 BF>    Check.

 MvdV>> Are you encouraged to work on it?

 BF>    Not really.

And supporting Fido over IPv6 apparently is not on your todo list...

Why do you advertise a method of connection that you do not support?

Which obviously does not work. And it probably will never work, I have not heard of anyone succeeding in making XP work as an IPv6 router. I have left that road years ago. I terminate my SixXs tunnel on the system that runs Fidonet. No router functionality, just a tunnel serving one system. That works for me. On XP.

 BF> Plus I have Argus answering binkp calls.

Argus is open source, so there is hope. But you'r not married to Argus are you?

Rebuilding my system from scratch is more or less what I am doing right now. where is the spirit of the early days of Fidonet?


Cheers, Michiel
