IPv4? Telnet???

sure! why not?

session with the specified IP address and "act" like a modem?

Forget of both.

really?? a FTSC member attempting to snuff out development in the network?? what's next? are you going to DDoS other developers working to offer FTNs another method of connecting?? are you sure you need/should remain on the FTSC with this attitude??

Pref. one that can be run / invoked without re-compiling the Linux
Kernel :)

That could require writing a kernel module, but nobody in a good mind

would

write such a PoS.

yeah, no... we thank you for your (uninformed) opinion... good bye!

FQDN? IPv6? Never heard of.
For telnet... well, only lamers from US may still use it and yell about those terrible "Russian hackers".

Modem emulation over insecure IPv4-only links is not a development - it's degradation. What do _you_ do in FTSC without understanding that?

they have been heard of, yes... start with the existing and easy stuff and then
add the capabilities for using other methods... have you not heard of doing that?

i've seen no one yelling about "russian hackers"...

Modem emulation over insecure IPv4-only links is not a development

sure it is... it offers another channel for communications... perhaps this quote will help you remember what fidonet is all about...

FidoNet's PURPOSE:

Very simple; it is a hobby, a non-commercial network of computer hobbiests ("hackers", in the older, original meaning) who want to play with, and find uses for, packet switch networking. It is not a commercial venture in any way; FidoNet is totally supported by it's users and sysops, and in many ways is similar to ham radio, in that other than a few "stiff" rules, each sysop runs their system in any way they please, for any reason they want.

- it's degradation.

really? communications is a degradation? we see where you are now...

What do _you_ do in FTSC without understanding that?

since i'm not a candidate i'll turn your question back on you... what is your answer?
