Earlier this year I ran a couple of tests to explore the feasability of running
a Fidonet node on a DS-Lite connection. I reported about these experiments in a
couple of Fidonews articles titled "DS-Lite emulation experiment xxx".

The conclusion was that running a Fidonet node on a DS-Lite connection is
doable.

There is no problem yet, and there probably won't be for another couple of
years, but I am afraid that in the end it willl boil down to "adapt or die"...


Cheers, Michiel
