 MvdV> Nodes that have no outgoing IPv6 capability can not directly connect to

   Ahhh yes, it's kinda like when I changed from 24554 to 24555 for incoming binkp connections. I could one by one rote them out. Now only one remaining, that still doesn't respond to netmail: 2:5020/848.

 MvdV> The reason for this experiment is to see if it is doable to run a
 MvdV> Fidonet node from a DS-Lite connection. My ISP Ziggo, who has a quasi
 MvdV> monopoly on cable Internet, is putting all new customers on DS-Lite.
 MvdV> Ziggo is a daughter of Liberty Global. Other daughters of Liberty Global
 MvdV> in Europa are doing the same. The time that everyone on a consumer
 MvdV> connection can have an IPv4 address of their own is coming to an end.

   Well, I must admit that I haven't paid much attention to the DS-Lite discussions here, since I don't think we have any of it here in Sweden. Our ISPs seem to have either IPv4 only (very rare) or native IPv6 (sometimes at extra cost).

   My ISP (Bahnhof -- as soon as my fibre is connected) has always provided their users with native IPv6. And they've always run the end tunnels for SixXs as well as he.net for Sweden.

   So, I don't think I have to dive into the DS-Lite shite any time soon.
