Hello Tim,

On Tuesday March 15 2022 19:14, you wrote to me:

OK.

In the meantime Rinaldo and I finally managed to complete a fully functional
IPv6 session:  :-)

There was a delay because Rinaldo's ISP decided in their wisdom to switch him
from DS-Lite to IPv4 only. Fortunately we managed to undo that, but it took
almost a week.

To make an IPv6 connect to my Dual Stack system we deployed a work-around.
Fidonet sysops are good at work-arounds. Instead of the nodelisted hostname
fido.vlist.eu, I have the alternative of fido6.vlist.eu. That host name only
resolves to an IPv6 address. That is the one that is now in Rinaldo's WinPoint
config. And so he now makes IPv6 connections with me.


Cheers, Michiel
