Hello Dan,

And you are stuck with them? If so I do not envy you. Here I
have a choice between over a dozen providers distributed over three
fysical media. Nearly all of them offer native IPv6.

I have played around with tunnels before I got native IPv6 now
nearly a decade ago. It was fun and an interesting experience.

If you are no longer interested in trying out new things that seem
to have no obvious purpose at first glance, why are you still in
Fidonet? Fidonet is like a shipping company without passengers or cargo. But
we just keep the ships running for the fun of it. It serves no real
purpose any more.

DC> Yes, I read the echo. Seems to be mostly a self-congratulatory

Like most of Fidonet...
