I'm impressed with the OS/2 part.

I have a perfectly fine boxed copy of Warp Connect V3.  If you ever feel you
need to "upgrade", give me a shout.  I still have an unopened box of Lotus
Smartsuite for OS/2 (orig Retail $30).  As you can tell, I had plans from long
ago that never came to fruition.

I suppose original warning/concern is for sysops with legacy software *and*
IPv4 routers/service only, for they would not be able to reach IPv6-only
systems in the nodelist directly.  But appropriate routing, tunneling,
shimming, gating ..etc, will surely connects us all in the IPv6 x IPv4 fidonet
matrix.
