   Hello Nigel,   
      
   While looking for PING flags, I could not help noticing this:   
      
   IBN:ipv4.endofthelinebbs.com:24554   
      
   It made me wonder, why the IPv4? IIRC it used to be just endofthelinebbs.com   
   and that had an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Some more research revealed that   
   endofthelinebbs.com still makes an IPv6 connect with your system. So you have   
   IPv6 connectivity, but you hide it from the the nodelist.   
      
      
   I wonder why....   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
