My ISP now only offers me a dynamic IP address. My understanding is that Johnny's bridge program is not tolerant of changing IP addresses. Is that still the case? Correct. So based on Sampsa's answer I can connect via a Multinet tunnel and there's at least one Hecnet member (Steve Davidson) who can keep that connected even if the IP address changes? Correct. Would that mean I need to move into another area or request an area to myself? You need to move to Steve's area, or set one up of your own. Johnny Or move to Sampsa's area. That would very much depend on where he connects, if he is an endnode...

I've renewed my VMS PAKs and have a couple of simh VMS 7.3 instances up again. Unfortunately when I dropped off back then I lost my static IP, so step one, I guess, is asking this: What are the current best options the group has found to deal with dynamic addresses? Alas FLETCH (1.100), my VS4000/60 has suffered some kind of disk trauma during the intervening 2 house moves so it might be a while before I can connect a physical system. Nice to see the return of the mapping project too - rather more elegant than my own short-lived efforts.
