   Exactly! As I've said, this port issue is what's really confusing me, it doesn't make any sense.

   Why couldn't the IPv6 people make the IPv6 address end with the last bits 48-17 corresponding to existing IPv4 and the last 16 bits being the port number? How easy it would have been to have a seamless transformation.

   Not by me, I hope? :)

 MvdV> ? 18 Mar 15:56:30 [5760] connection to 2:203/0@fidonet failed: {W32 API
 MvdV> error 10061} Connection refused

   Hmmm...

   "No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host -- that is, one with no server application running."

   Yehupp. Back to the drawing-board I guess.
