   Hello Tim,

   It is in line with the general principle of "do not reinvent the wheel". If   
   the OS can take care of it, let the OS do it.   
      
    TS> Also, no offense ... but is this a programmers or users opinion?   
      
   Both. And also the POV of the one who has studied IPv6 especially in relation   
   to Fidonet. It is also how Binkd does it and AFAIK other Fidonet IP mailers   
   too.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
