//Hello Michiel,//

to *All* about *"Two dumb questions"*.

 MvdV> 1) Can Winpoint accept incoming calls?

No. Originally, that made little sense for a point software. Nowadays, I see some potential in that (also as a kind of Mini-Node). However, I think that people may dislike the idea of runnin a GUI application as a server. Separating the GUI would probably be serious work.

 MvdV> 2) Does Winpoint support IPv6?

Probably not. It has not been explicitly implemented. However, I have another softwre project of similar age, that (for complex technical reasons) turned out to surprisingly almost fully support IPv6. The only problem was, that it was due to parsing of the inpunt simply not possible to enter IPv6 adresses, but using DNS worked as well as accepting incoming connections from IPv6 clients. So in total it took me like 10 minutes to fix that one.

Overall, I have it on the list and care about that soon. Do you have a test system for me?

Tim
