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 [2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe2b:c319] 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.

They are essentially the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems. You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours. Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to your job, school or whatever.

If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters. b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index, the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you may want to add some other address where you can be reached for personal comments. c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC. In case a) and b) above is not crystal clear, here's an excellent summary by Ward Dossche, a major article contributor: Piece of cake: 1) Ascii text 2) Line length of 70 3) Put this at the very top: *The title of your text The title of your text Your Name - Your Nodenumber The title is there twice, the line with the * is how it will be visible in the table of content. Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

Put a .TXT on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews. If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I can not fix and I need your help on it. Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to: Bj”rn Felten Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0 E-Mail b @ felten dot se Skype file bfelten IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper folder. Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article. That way I will know to look for it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 39-19 Page 17 9 May 2022 Credits, Legal Infomation, Availability + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- FIDONEWS STAFF - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Editor: Bj”rn Felten, 2:2/2 | | | | The IPv6 list: Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555 | | The S/W list: Andrew Leary, 1:320/219 | | | + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - EDITORS EMERITI - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Tom Jennings, Thom Henderson, Dale Lovell, Vince | | Perriello, Tim Pozar, Sylvia Maxwell, Donald Tees, | | Christopher Baker, Zorch Frezberg, Henk Wolsink, | | Doug Meyers, Warren D.
