    ok, let's play: what's the good question?

    (long story short: i've tried 1.1.5.1 as well, but it core dumps me when
    i try to enter a message, so i decided to copy back the old version. so
    if you do not have a good reason why i should install the new one, i
    will stick with this)

    what is the width of the window you're trying to run GED in? it has problems with widths wider than 132 so set that width to 132 or less
    and GED should be ok...

    i don't know, i use mostly 80x24 via telnet, but the older version do not have this problem, so still don't understand why to force upgrade? security? (haha)

    i don't understand what telnet has to do with running GED... it is a
    local sysop editor... not one generally run from a BBS over a telnet connection... perhaps you should explain your usage scenario a bit
    more? probably over in the golded support echo would be better, too...

    i have my OS/2 machine in the office, and i am using it via telnet. not the BBS, i telnet into the OS/2 where i got a prompt -> C:\>
    then i enter: cd \golded and then run gedemx.exe :)
    95% i use my os2 box remotely and it works surprisingly well, i did
    not expect it.

    but the older version do not have this problem, so still don't
    understand why to force upgrade? security? (haha)

    i would imagine mainly for the bug fixes... see you over in the golded support area! ;)

    i did not notice any bugs yet, but i use it only for reading/answering, no fancy stuff, no automatic tagline generation, no nothing. :)

    Hi Michiel.

    ===

    Ah, now I get it. You use the http proxy feature of binkd! I never thought about that. I always skipped that section in the docs, thinking "I will most
    likely never need that". I never realised it could be used for a 4to6 proxy as
    well. And the reason for that in turn is because I do not need a 4to6 proxy for
    my binkd. It handles IPv6 natively...

    Of course this trick only works for binkd. We see two "IO" flags in
    the list of
    IPv6 nodes. It is my understanding that they use a 6to4 relay for incoming.
    They have no outgoing IPv6 for their binkd client. They both run Radius. Your
    trick won't work for them...

    Radius can use http proxy as well. I have tested it. The only problem with it is that it tries to resolve the address and it does not understand IPv6 address. I can poll you with Radius later when I get back home. :)

    ..

    So you first made an IPv4 connect and then manually entered an override to use fido6.vlist.eu
    instead of fido.vlist.eu?

    Exactly. That happens because Radius resolves the hostname and uses the ipv4 address, even when connecting via proxy.

    Binkd works 'better' in this case, it just passes the hostname to the proxy and then proxy does the resolving job.

    Exactly.

    Two questions:

    1) Where does the fido6.vlist.eu come from? It exists in the DNS but it is only for local use
    and not advertised in the nodelist. It is not advertised anywhere AFAIK. Maybe I mentioned it
    somewhere and forgot? Or maybe you just happened to make the right guess?

    From my memory... Or imagination... I think you have announced it once in some testings in the past? If not, a good guess. :D

    That happens because Radius resolves the hostname and uses the ipv4
    address, even when connecting via proxy.

    2) So this manual override works only for my node and to connect to another node you have to
    make another override? IOW manually enter a new line in the config for each node that is to be
    connected via IPv6?

    Pretty much so when the node has also IPv4 address. But using an ipv6-capable proxy with Radius makes it possible to connect IPv6-only nodes too. :)

    privoxy.localnet has address 192.168.1.24

    no ipv6 on that hostname ?, bummer :)

    So there is also some fault tolerancy and load balancing between my
    two ISP's. ;D

    if it works :)
