[MLB-WIRELESS] IP addressing, OSPF and a .plan

[Will Lotto]

Hey, I've got a neat idea.

Lets just use IPv6.

Why aren't we supporting IPv6?

and for that matter, why aren't we supporting IPv5??

Nah, look, here's a compromise. Since IPv6 is too far away, and IPv4
has no addresses for us... we'll use IPv5.

Or, what's with this IP stuff anyway? DOOM uses IPX, that's all I
need, and last I heard you don't need an addressing scheme for IPX,
it's all done for you. And there's none of that overhead caused by
"error checking and correcting" .. who needs that sh*t anyway?

Now, where was I? Oh yes, I was bitching about the amount of noise on
the mailing list, oh, that and the speed. it all *should* be running
on exchange 5.5 .. what is this "sendmail" stuff anyway? That's part of
that pirate "free" software movement and that hacker operating
software "LINUX" .. or was that "RED HAT"? I always get those two
mixed up. :)
