OK, but I think OS/2 is a dead end either way. I tried it for a while 15 years ago and I liked it. Until I got into networking and I could not make it talk to Novell (Personal) Netware. Of course it can do TCP/IP now, but then I had already turned away from it. It seems OS/2 is always one or two steps behind when it comes to networking. And now it does not support IPv6 and as you say, it most likely never will. So for me, end of story.

MvdV>> Ah, cheating! ;-)

Well, it depends of course what the proxy is used for. If it is used to trick the world into believing OS/2 can do IPv6, yes, I call that cheating. ;-)

MvdV>> Yes, that works:
TK> Great, now you can route R22 mail thru 2:221/6. ;-)
I may consider that when I have converted my main system to IPv6. ;-)
Stay tuned.
