I would expect the IPv6 "any" interface address (::) to be listed in that array too, but default.ããA better idea is probably is to use client.socket.local_ip_address to get the currently connected/used server IP address.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #50:ãLF = Line Feed (ASCII 10, Ctrl-J)ãNorco, CA WX: 93.6øF, 37.0% humidity, 4 mph SE wind, 0.01 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
