MvdV>> I don't see why anyone would want to run a zoo on a mobile MvdV>> platform.
HD> Look at the Ark of Noach, it is a big ship with all kind of animals HD> ;-).
"is"?? So where is it? Where can I see this great attraction?
HD>>> people who only live mobile, i.e. in a motorhome or ship and HD>>> donot have a fixed home of wood and/or stone at land,
MvdV>> That answers the question of "who". Not "why".
HD> Also why, because they donot have a fixed connection. HD> I.e. POTS, Central Antenna Cable and Fibre are impossible.
That answers the question of what they can not. Not the question of why they want it in the first place.
HD>>> which I would liked to, but it seems to difficult to realy HD>>> realise that at my age, at first financially ;-(.
MvdV>> So for you it is a castle in the air. Forget it.
HD> At first site yes, but you never know. It could be suddenly still HD> possible. You never know. May be tomorrow I find a woman living on a HD> ship, and we could have a click? Or a large sum of money is comming to HD> my side from somewhere ;-).
Yeah, and pigs will fly and I will be an astronaut after all...
MvdV>>>> It is not practical. Better hire space at a hosting provider. MvdV>>>> Much cheaper and far nore stable.
HD>>> So I donot have to run a FidoNet station at home?
MvdV>> It is not my cup of tea, for me the kick is running the server MvdV>> in my own home on my own hardware. There are sysops however who MvdV>> hire space (physical or virtual) in a data center and run their MvdV>> Fidonet system from there.
HD> The same here.
But if running a Fidonet node in a data centre is what you can have and running it on your ship while on the move is what you can not have, what will you choose?
A close member of my family always wanted the dush that was not om the menu. From the 1000 on the list, it wanted # 1001 that was not avaialble. It ended up with nothing. No sole mate, no children, no job. Nothing. People who always want the impossible, instead of make do with what they can have, end up empty handed.
MvdV>>>> Yes, IPv6 has provisons for that.
HD>>> So in that case it is interesting for mobile users.
MvdV>> May be. I haven't heard much about it as yet...
HD> I know Kees and you do have a fixed part at the IPv6 number that ends HD> with the FidoNet Node number, right?
We have, and we are not the only ones. Look in the list of IPv6 nodes for "f" in the "remarks" colum.
But it has nothing to do with mobile.
HD>>> So I ones did the same with my old (2006) Siemens MC60 2G HD>>> GSM/GPRS. 9600 bps indeed worked to get a connection with my own HD>>> BBS at home, when I was at the computerclub in Rijswijk near The HD>>> Hague with my GSM then.
MvdV>> That is something different. You wre using the connection to MvdV>> read mail as a USER. You did not run a server that could accept MvdV>> incoming calls.
HD> Ok, that could be a try once?
For a server you need a stable routable public IP address. I have not yet found a way to get one on a mobile connection. So forget it.
