My Last Email with W. Richard Stevens

In the fall of 1998 I joined the AFCERT. I became acquainted with the amazing book TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols by W. Richard Stevens. About a year later I exchanged emails with Mr. Stevens. Here is the last exchange, as forwarded from my AFCERT email address to my home email.

[In your message of Aug 18,  2:37pm you write:]

Many thanks.

Actually, I am first working on a revision of my APUE book, then it
will be time for TCP Vol. 1.  I am hesitant to start on TCP Vol. 1
too soon, given the "uncertain" status of IPv6 at the present.  I keep
hoping things will settle down with IPv6 and vendors will start shipping
real implementations.
