1. It's the most stable OS that I have ever tried.
2. It has the most simple and flexible administration of the firewall that I know of.
3. It has all the remains of all my old computers, including all the fidonet stuff, with loads of MS-DOS programs developed and tweaked for more than 20 years. Converting it to something else would take far more time and effort than I am willing to spend on our museum piece.
4. My ISP would give me a new IP if ever I change the MAC address (from my XP router/server), and I don't want to go down that route again unless necessary.
MvdV> What type of tunnel do you have? AYIYA?
No, it's a 6in4-static. And I want to keep it that way.
MvdV> It is my understanding that routing does not work with the Windows version.
It works for me. But (obviously) IPv6 routing doesn't work as well as IPv4 does with XP.
MvdV> Why don't you try my way? Flashing an old Linksys with a version of MvdV> OpenWrt that supports IPv6. The how-to is all in the FidoNews articles MvdV> (3) I wrote about it.
Been there, tried that, got a brick to prove it. :)
Nah, just kidding. As I said, it's all about being able to administer the firewall in a user friendly way. I'm now to old to get back to the old MS-DOS variant of administering things, I want a GUI.
