Hello Joe,

On Friday June 17 2016 18:59, you wrote to me:

 JD>>> The latest release of DBridge is now IPv6 compatible.

 MV>> So you say. Since the system of the present maintainer, Nick

 JD> No, Nick said so.  I think he also mentioned that he could not test it

Then he should get IPv6 connection one way or another and properly test it before making any claims. Everyone who ever programmed something more trivial then "Hello World" should know that it is impossible to write functioning software without the ability to test it.

 JD>>> SBBS apparently is also now IPv6 compatible

 MV>> Again: so you say. My response is the same: I have not been able

That there is a place to enter en IPv6 address does not mean that it actually works. Today I have - again - attempted to make an IPv6 connect to both the developers of Synchronet and it failed.

Have you checked if the hardware version you have supports that particular firmware?

 JD> I dont have $200 plus to buy a different router

It doesn't have to cost that much.


Cheers, Michiel
