Hello, Michiel!

It depends on who's running the investigation and doing the questioning.

Those details are not important for this report. But very important for my 
other projects.
Please keep your multi homed setup running for several months. Thank you.

The Germans would probably call it "Das Experiment".

 MV> BTW, I am not the only node in Fidonet that is dual homed...

Happy to hear that!

 MV> BTW2 You missed 280/5006 becasue you dit not check for IPv6. 280/5006
 MV> is IPv6 only.

He is from "Heerhugowaard". I can't even pronounce that.

"Heer" in Russian means "penis", BTW.

Best regards,
