   OK.   
      
   In the meantime Rinaldo and I finally managed to complete a fully functional   
   IPv6 session:  :-)

   There was a delay because Rinaldo's ISP decided in their wisdom to switch him   
   from DS-Lite to IPv4 only. Fortunately we managed to undo that, but it took   
   almost a week.   
      
   To make an IPv6 connect to my Dual Stack system we deployed a work-around.   
   Fidonet sysops are good at work-arounds. Instead of the nodelisted hostname   
   fido.vlist.eu, I have the alternative of fido6.vlist.eu. That host name only   
   resolves to an IPv6 address. That is the one that is now in Rinaldo's WinPoint   
   config. And so he now makes IPv6 connections with me.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
