   Hello Tim,

   In the haydays of Fidonet, the pointlist was considered a breeding pond for   
   new sysops. They had the opportunity to get to know the basic principles of   
   Fionet and could familiarize themselves with the software. Making their   
   sysyems accept incoming calls was one of the steps on the ladder. Of course in   
   those days there was no dedicated point software, they used fully fledged   
   mailers.

   My point Rinaldo started out with Binkd, Fmail and Golded. He did not like the   
   config text files and so went looking elsewhere and he found Winpoint. But I   
   have not given up hope of one day promoting hin to fully fledged node, hence   
   my question about incoming calls.   
      
   And why IPv6? Well, it so happens that he is on a DS-Lite connection. He does   
   not have a public IPv4 address of his own, so if he is going to accept   
   incoming calls, it wil be IPv6 only. I saw him come in on IPv4 and hence my   
   question about IPv6. I was hoping it would be a setting in Winpoint...   
      
    TS> Overall, I have it on the list and care about that soon. Do you have a   
    TS> test system for me?   
      
   You can always try to connect to my system. It answers on IPv6 and IPv4.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
