Hello Bj”rn,

I already wondered. When I did a whois on your IPv4 address, I ended up with Telia, not Bahnhof.

So you can choose between different ISPs on the same physical medium?

Here that would not work. Here it is standard procedure to offer new customers a discount for the first three or six month, but then if you accept that discount. you are stuck with them for a year.

Speed is not an issue for Fidonet. Even the old POTS speeds were enough. It is the 24/7 availability at zero extra cost that is the advantage over good old POTS...


Cheers, Michiel
