This maybe all fine and dandy but, consider the fact that in many countries
including Holland the simple fact that a IP# OTHER than 44.xx.xx.xx over a
RF link could be considered to be an infringment of our licence rules and
regulations.
Another aspect is, when "any" packet addressed to "anything" other than
44.xx.xx.xx addresses goes into the bit bucket on a local radio lan so
what happens when i or someone else on my system does:
telnet w4bkx
$ telnet w4bkx
Trying 205.152.185.200...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
The local router sends an ICMP type Unreachable code Network, so it cant
work that way.
If this was seen by someone who "objects" to gateways and wormholes he would
now have what would seem like evidence of "pirate traffic" being transmitted
from my stn, which could cost me whole lot of trouble.
Please inform w4bkx that what he has done has MANY more conciquenceies than
he imagened.
One would have thought that an "area IP coordinator" would have thought this
over before doing such a thing.
Sorry to rant on about this, which may seem trivial to some, however we HAVE
to think about this sort of pratice here in Europe, simply because there are
so many "objectors" to packet gateways on the internet and this practice just
gives them another point to argue on.
