Hello Victor,

On Saturday October 16 2021 18:06, you wrote to me:

You'r welcome.

No.

Sure. How do you think I got my f1do address?

The odd thing is that on a premium bussines account there is no such
restriction. With such an account one has dual stack with the modem in bridge.
So I don't think your theory is correct.


Cheers, Michiel
