But using an ipv6-capable       proxy with Radius makes it possible to connect IPv6-only nodes too. :)              'Tommi              ---        * Origin: rbb.fidonet.fi (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 154/10 203/0 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/702 229/424 426 550 664 700 1016 230/0       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 5555 282/1038 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 423/81 120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 5020/545       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
