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
