 DG>> Yeah, but they lay out packets to be sent using filesnames that are

 MV> Some software does that. Your point?

You asked me to comment why my IPv6 represented my node number using hex values and not decimals values.

 DG>> Why do they need to know? If I went with SLAAC, it would be even more confusing right?
 MV> SLAAC numbers do not have the "f1d0" marker in the first 16 bits of the host part.

I know - and it wouldnt represent my node number at all.

 MV> Look, it is just a game among the members of the Fidonet IPv6 club. If you want to be a spoilsport and play your own game by using
 MV> hex instead of decimal for the node number part, then ... then you are on your own...

I dont think I'm being a spoil sport, in fact I didnt know that this was a game or there were rules to it? How would 2:5020/11200 represent their node number in your IPv6 f1d0 hex game?
