We can always weather out the IPv4 exhaustion by going back to UUCP for e-mail delivery, file transfer; better be sure to grab the source code in advance just in case. If the worst happens... get a few /24 microallocations for UUCP relays as critical infrastructure on whatever's left of the net, so we can perform modem dialin from wherever, and uploads our proposals to Usenet, for restoring sanity to the tarred remains of the internets.... <EG>
