Hello Stephen,

Of course, shit happens all the time. But this wasn't meant as an attack on Paul or any other sysop. 3:770/1 was just an example and the core of my article was not the fact that connection failures with IPv4 happen, but the fact that they seem to go unnoticed for some time and everything just keeps working anyway. Via IPv6.

I get my information from the site of Dmitry Protasoff:

https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics/ipv6-only

Scroll down to the node in question and click on "history" on the right.

I can not explain why you manage to make an IPv4 connect and Dmitry's system does not.


Cheers, Michiel
