   Hello Tony,   
      
   On Thursday March 28 2019 08:08, you wrote to me:

   Ok, so my memory once again failed me. ;-)   
      
    TL> though I _could_ theoretically use 4in6.   
      
   When IPv6 becomes the dominant protocol 4in6 tunnels may become popular for   
   those still needing incoming IPv4. Until "everyone has IPv6 of course. Then we   
   can switch off IPv4. ;-)

   Very unusual. Few hobbyists have more than one IPv4 address these days. Having   
   moe than one is unusual by itself. Having them via a VPN is even more unusual.   
   You may be the only one in Fidonet.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
