Hello Rj!

 Well I will chacke on changes once in a while. If I make any progress myself,
 I will let you know. I think the code needs a cleanup first to het rid
 of obsolete practices in coding. The same goes for Golded and the Husky set.

 On my previous hardware, I also supported ISDN. I could do so now,
 but nobody will connect to it. Now there is one node in our net with
 pots only. The last couple of years he promised to switch to IP real soon
 now.

 Andre Gruenenberg made a patch for qico-0.57.1xe

 Michiel Broek had some involvement with IPv6 in his professional life,
 so implementing it in MBSE, was not a major challenge.

 What I found up till now, MBSE by Michiel and Binkd/Qico by Andre.
 Andre was also professionally invoveld with IPv6

 Yes he was active then, that and the work by Adre triggered me to set up
 for IPv6 as well. Wilfred was also triggered and since then our connections
 is IPv6. I was then surprised, that my connections to, then still active
 Michiel Broek, also used IPv6.
