Sergej and all,
It's not a NOS problem, it's a general issue for ALL of the TCP/IP 
enabled systems connected with Packet Radio. ONLY the old only AX25 
systems that do not have any clue about TCP/IP don't.

Yes, you are right for ASIA... That one has been nicked as Internet TLD 
now, but EURO and all the other 4-letter continent designators have not.
Is that a guarantee for the future? Well, what actually is?
Quite a few in Packet Radio cling to ideas and software from the early 
80's, times before the Internet as we know it...
If you're on an island you can pretend there is no more inhabited world 
around you, but only water...
Yes, seems we have to come up with a nw idea to replace ASIA.
Until a few years ago when people in the Internet domain started to come 
up with the ideato have all sorts of often absolutely insane TLDs to 
be registerable it wasn't a thing to worry about.
Maybe as AMPR community we should lobby IANA to put at least all the 
other 4-letter continent designators as reserved and not available 
as TLD on the Internet.
However, there it is big money and in that respect I guess we might be 
happy that we still have th 44.0.0.0 subnet as exclusively Amateur 
Radio purposes, but with the shortage of IP-4v addresses the industry 
already has been pulling to get us kicked out.

Again, live hapily on your island, but I hope the rest of Packet Radio 
land, at least most, will move on and adopt the 4-letter continent 
designators.
And yes, we clearly need to think about replacing ASIA with something 
else.
I would be surprised to also see EURO taken for TLD as we already have 
the EU and where EURO in that respect would just be obsolete next to the 
EU in my opinion.
But then, guarantees aren't given.


Rgs, 73, Angela

I am opposed to my bulletins being placed on systems where these bulletins 
can be publicly accessed by anyone, including search engines and spambots, 
from the Internet, without that the user first has to logon to have access 
to the system!
Having Packet bulletins on display on so many systems, where the sysops 
think these bulletins are so important for the people outside of Amateur 
Radio that they need to have access to them, quite often indefinitely, is 
just ridiculous Internet polution!
