Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Spelling Police. As this is my third (well actually my fourth since my uni education was with Proper English, not the bastardized US ditto) I'm still trying to keep up with this fourth language. But at least I've never complained about your horrible grammar.
DC> It's a world-wide standard, in widespread use.
It was. A standard from 1981, when the web was more than a decade from being introduced and worldwide (sic) internet adoption was still another decade away. Stagnation has never been the way forward. Only redards think so.

What signals were they then? If you had quoted the errors you received, it might have helped you identify the problem.

You have no idea about my system, so why even try to tell me how to operate it?
DC> Strange how your system(s) are so unreliable.
Not to any of my paying clients or free-of-charge important Fidonet friends, as far as I know. Yes, I know that there still are some IPv4 problems, but it does not seem to be a problem for all of them since they all use IPv6; therefore, my IPv6 theory. If you have any other explanation, I'm all ears.
