     =================================================================

     If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples
     then you and I will still each have one apple.

     But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these
     ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

     Title:          The INO4 flag.

                     1. Introduction.
                     2. The problem.
                     3. The solution.
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     1. Introduction
     ---------------

       The InterNet is running out of addresses. To solve this problem
       it is slowly migrating from 32 bit addresses (IPv4) to 128 bit
       addresses (IPv6).

       The conversion is largely transparent for the user. When querying
       the DNS system to resolve a host name, an IPv6 capable system
       initiating a connection will look if an AAAA record is present
       and use the IPv6 address if that is the case. If not, it will use
       the IPv4 address. There is no need for a nodelist flag to signal
       IPv6 capability, the lower layers will handle it transparently.


     2. The Problem
     --------------

       Presently all IPv6 capable nodes in the nodelist also support
       connectivity over IPv4. So there is downward compatibility. At
       present IPv4 only nodes have no problems connecting to IPv6 capable
       nodes, they just connect via IPv4.

       We can however not expect that situation to last forever. While the
       number of IPv6 capable nodes grows, IPv4 connectivity will eventu-
       ally degrade.

       Some day there will be nodes that no longer accept incoming connec-
       tions over IPv4. At best they will be behind a GGNAT or Carrier
       Grade NAT. That is a NAT operated by their ISP, so they will have no
       control over the port forwarding tables. At worst they will have no
       IPv4 at all. Either way, these nodes will not be reachable by nodes
       that do not have IPv6 capability.

       Attempts to connect will fail and most mailers will just repeat
       the attempt at regular intervals until the sysop intervenes. At
       present there is no way to predict such a failure beforehand.

       To avoid this undesirable situation I propose a flag that indicates
       that an otherwise IP capable node does not support incoming connec-
       tions over IPv4.


     3. The INO4 flag
     ----------------

       INO4       Indicates that an otherwise IP capable node is unable to
                  accept incoming connections over IPv4.


     4. Considerations
     -----------------

       Although NOIPV4 would be more clear, it goes against the custom that
       all IP related flags start wit the letter 'I'. It is also needlessly
       long.
       Someone suggested to use IPV6 with the definition of "IPv6 only".
       This is bound to be misunderstood as other capability flags have
       always meant "in addition of". V34 means an additional V34 capabi-
       lity, not "V34 only". X75 does not mean "X75 only". Using IPV6 with
       a definition of "IPv6 only" will raise confusion and hence improper
       use .

       Note that in the very long run as IPv4 gradually fades out, we may
       reach a situation where most of the IP capable nodes in the nodelist
       will carry this flag. If and when this happens, the Fidonet communi-
       ty may consider dropping this flag and marking the minority that
       still accepts incoming connections over IPv4 with an IPV4 flag.

     =================================================================

                 The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

     This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
     the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

     You connect to them using the email client 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.

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain ASCII text. 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.

     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.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. 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:

                 Björn Felten
     Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0
     E-Mail      bfelten @ telia dot com
     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.
