Hello Markus,

Earlier this year I ran a couple of tests to explore the feasability of running 
a Fidonet node on a DS-Lite connection. I reported about these experiments in a 
couple of Fidonews articles titled "DS-Lite emulation experiment xxx".

The conclusion was that running a Fidonet node on a DS-Lite connection is 
doable.

There is no problem yet, and there probably won't be for another couple of 
years, but I am afraid that in the end it willl boil down to "adapt or die"...


Cheers, Michiel
