geee - nice :) i assume "what is my ip" and "say 'foo'" are all FNP commands? and they are crypted? then perhaps the established connection A<->B could be kept open for normal FNP (if not already so) also C->a.b.c.d could be used as an additional "node connection establishment attempt from C to a.b.c.d" (don't know the exact FNP name for this) so the connection could be used for FNP just now, too _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
