Hinrich Eilts, Author of ipxtund, Where are You?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-ya-still-out-there dept.

Leandro Dardini is desperately seeking Hinrich: "As consultant for a local provider, I have to present a solution for a big problem: tunnel IPX over IP to permit old application users to connect via Internet. After digging google, I found ipxtund, written by Hinrich Eilts in 1998. It works great even after 4 years, but I have a question to the author. The author vanished. After searching again in Google, I found the last clue of Hinrich in a post on 23 Jul 1999, then nothing. I don't want to think the worst, but, Hinrich Eilts, where are you?"

    Perhaps your looking in the wrong place for the author - the intenet. The author can be easily found on that Mormon-net, the global IPX network that Novell made. Mormon-net uses imprisoned Scientology members that have reached OT-3 and their resulting thought-rays for the transport layer. Good luck in finding a network card that works for it.

    Hold on. Someone just knocked over the concrete wall enclosing the parking lot across the street. I'll be back.

    It frightens me that this comment is almost more interesting than the article. (So what happened?)

    Well, the wall has a section about ten feet across where a moving truck backed into it doing a U-Turn. Cinder blocks lay strewn across the grass and into the abutting parking lot on the other side of the wall. Reinforcing rebar is exposed and gnarled.

    Nothing too serious. Just a lot of noise. Someone's going to have to build that wall up again.

    Well, next time someone posts an Ask Slashdot wondering where Hinrich is, tell us how the rebuild went.
