    FOOD FOR THOUGHT =================================================================

    Don't be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime
    learning the skill.

    Don't piss off old people. The older they get, the less
    'life in prison' is a deterrent.

    Remarks:

    f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address.
    (zone, net, node in decimal notation)
    IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
    OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls).
    INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls).
    PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
    but is configured to try IPv4 first)
    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    NO6 The node no longer presents an IPv6 address in the nodelist
    and will soon be removed from this list.
    HOLD The node is temporarely off-line. Mail may be routed.
    DOWN This node is Down for both IPv4 and IPv6 and will be
    removed from this list if the condition pertains.
    PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
    capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
    IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.

    PM *1 lounge.egontech.com

    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
    and up when compiled with AF_FORCE=1). If the destination address
    is a 6to4 tunnel address (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if
    an IPv4 address is present.

    THE PUZZLE CORNER

    BBS Software Word Search
    Jay Harris - 1:229/664

    I like that. But as everybody knows, every page has more than
    one corner. Especially when it comes to puzzles. Stay tuned for
    more puzzles - in next week's edition. By the Batman's favorite
    nemesis - The Puzzler.

    Including an original (and much more challenging) word search
    puzzle. That not even the Riddler could solve. :)

    For Life,
    Lee
