When you need hosting for that kind of service we can offer a VM on our VMware ESXi 6.0 host in Amsterdam (on 44.137.42.0/27, BGP routed via 44.137.0.0/16). There are 2 HPe Proliant servers each with local RAID-1 disks, a VM image is copied from one host to the other nightly and we can change over manually on catastrophic hardware failure. Offsite backups of the VM images are made as well. It is connected to Internet at 1 Gbit/s and to our radio network at 40 Mbit/s. Network access is via a MikroTik CCR router providing firewall configurable at port level. This is where gw-44-137 runs. Rob

All, I've noticed some pings from portal.ampr.org: > 2017-09-11 17:32:25.846 48.191 ICMP 81.174.235.134:0 -> > 44.60.44.10:8.0 38 3192 1 Is this an automated software pinging? - Lynwood KB3VWG

Personally, I think Facebook is a terrible choice. User information there is not protected and is monetized. As a discussion forum it is useless. It is ad laden, tracker laden and not user friendly. I don't have a Facebook account anymore and I am not interested in getting one. This forum email list works fine for me. If we need another email server there are several in the amateur radio community to chose from, including TAPR. If we want a commercialized product, there is groups.io which has a large community of ham radio related lists, mostly migrated from yahoo. Just my opinion. 73 de bill K7WXW

Clients also typically offer "kill thread" functionality that makes them ignore future postings in the same thread. Rob

Re: [44net] An anniversary of a sort - 36 years

Bill, The best person to answer is Brian Kantor. Till he chimes in... I don't expect to see IPv4 switched off on the general internet in my lifetime. The adoption rate of v6 is pretty sad. We don't even have everyone dual stacks yet. There has been some casual discussions from foreign hams to try and get an IPv6 allocation for ham radio from RIPE ( I believe).. but there will be so many addresses available I am not even sure ham radio needs its own allocation. Moving forward the whole online ham authentication thing (that OH7LZB has pointed out) makes more sense in my opinion. Use one of your many-many IPv6 addreses from your ISP, but add some sort of authentication to the process of interacting with other ham services. That is presently a lure of 44net.. knowing the guy on the other end is a ham, and whatever traffic is being generated (VOIP, data etc) should it key an actual transmitter it will be legit. [There was a proposal in 1998 to encode a "call sign" into IPv6 address titled "Take the Next Step with the Next Generation Protocol" by Naoto Shimazaki. And in 2012 a few members from the Mesa Amateur Radio Club of Arizona took this to code.) I guess the more pertinent questions I have for Brian would be: Are there a plan so that folks who only have IPv6 commercial address or are suck behind carrier grade IPv4 with no firewall access (some cellular carriers presently) can participate with the amprnet? In other words are there plans to make amprgw dual stack? 73 Steve, KB9MWR >OM, > >I'm a bit behind the times, so please bear with me.
