 Yes we know, Bjorn demonstrates that. But now try to connect to 2:280/5006

 It is about the same type of thinking many ISP's have. They say we still have
 plenty of IPv4 adresses to last us a couple of years.

 But now there is this new development in social networking far better than
 Facebook and whatever and everyone wants to connect.

 Unfortunately the startup cannot obtain IPv4 addresses and can only be
 connected via IPv6.

 Or as Michiel repeats. ISP start to use GNAT and you as a fidonet sysop
 do not get a public IP address. With your solution above, you are covered,
 but how do you connect to another node also behind a GNAT.

 Think about it, ther is still time. ;))
