So it's good that IPv4 is still working :)              Regards,       Anna              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Imzadi Box Point (2:240/5824.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 153/7715 226/30       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 550 664 700 240/5138 5411 5824 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 266/512 280/464 5555 282/1038 301/1 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 633/280 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/5824 5832 229/426           |
