Hello Nick,

Yep. Sounds familiar. It reminds me of the two sysops here in R28 that hang on to an archaic OS called RiscOS. One of them is the creator of RosBink. As the name suggests a Binkp version for RiscOS. Nice product. But... no Ipv6. They say a new version of RiscOS is in the making that will support IPv6. But they have been saying that for well over a decade. Similar sounds can be heard about OS/2|ECS. So indeed, if it's taken this long...  About IPFire, OS/2, RiscOS and other poducts that have taken this long I say:

  "If it doesn't have IPv6 by now, it will probably die with IPv4."

You may quote me on that. ;-)


Cheers, Michiel
