   Hello Oliver,   
      
   On Tuesday October 13 2020 10:42, you wrote to Tommi Koivula:

    Ol> I guess :1: and :2: is used more often by non-fido systems than fid0.   
      
   Not in the first 16 bits of the host part of the address.

   Most nodes do not have more than one Fidonet address. Some have more than one,   
   but most have just one. An IP interface can (and normally does have) more than   
   one IPv6 address. And while one can not match the Fidonet address to the IP   
   address, one can match the address to the node number. If I see

   I know where it comes from even if the session fails to connect. is that   
   useful? Maybe. But why does it have to be useful at all? Is Fidonet "useful"?   
   It is a hobby. Hobbies can not be judged bu usefulness.   
      
   So far 30 sysops have configured their systems to use an f1d0 address for   
   their fidonet node. Good enough for me.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
