//Hello Michiel,//

on *28.02.22* at *9:49:50* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*
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?

Regards,
Tim
