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              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 106/201 124/5016 129/331 153/757 7715 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 229/110 317 426 428 664 700 266/512 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 341/234       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848 2452/250       PATH: 280/5555 464 292/854 229/426           |
